The World Service has a couple of documentaries going out in July about Acoustic Ecology - studying the world through sound, recording soundscapes and preserving endangered sounds.  We are opening this up to the world and encouraging people to become acoustic ecologists themselves, through our "Save Our Sounds" project.  There's going to be an awesome map where you upload your audio and then you can click around the globe and listen to the sounds of other countries.   Hopefully by the end of the day there will be a place online where you can upload sounds, or if you are an AudioBoo user (it's lots of fun) you can upload your sounds and tag them BBC_SOS and we'll add them in. We're looking for sound rather than voices so get thinking about your favourite sounds or sounds that best describe where you live and send them in.

I'll be setting sound scavenger hunts once the main site is up and running - with daily themes like "bells" or "transport" or "9am" and I'd love to do a "Desperately Seeking Sounds" lonely hearts type thing where you describe a sound that you would love to hear and we do our best to find it and match you up with it - and then let us know what it means to you to hear that sound again - particularly good for expats or nostalgia!
