Italian term or phrase: esplorazione del paesaggio sonoro
"sound landscape exploration" è la mia traduzione ma non mi convince perché non è chiara, si capisce solo dopo che sound è un aggettivo, il lettore leggendo crede che sia un sostantivo.

si tratta di una brochure di promozione di un evento a cui partecipano i ragazzi di tre scuole medie che hanno registrato i suoni di alcune zone della loro città e, aiutati da un'associazione che si occupa di produzione del cortometraggio, hanno realizzato un filmato.

Reference information:
Paesaggio sonoro
Per paesaggio sonoro, traduzione dall'inglese soundscape, si intende, nelle parole del compositore canadese Raymond Murray Schafer che coniò per primo l'espressione, "un qualsiasi campo di studio acustico [...], una composizione musicale, un programma radio o un ambiente".
Così inteso, si riferisce innanzitutto all’ambiente acustico naturale, consistente nei suoni delle forze della natura e degli animali, inclusi gli uomini. È il campo di studio del design acustico.

La teorizzazione del paesaggio sonoro è stata sviluppata dal World Soundscape Project, un progetto di ricerca condotto negli anni Settanta da Schafer alla Simon Fraser University di Vancouver (Canada).
