The BBC World Service has started a new project inviting its audience to send them recordings from around the world to create an audio map of the world. This idea has been implemented a few times before on programs such as Google Earth, but the Beeb's audio map has been created with a view to 'save our sounds', to make an interactive map which can preserve the natural sounds of the world.
Further, there is also a project called Desparately Seeking Sounds, a source of some aural romantic nostalgia for those who pine over lost sounds from the past, and for those up for a recording challenge, a regular Sound Scavenger Hunt!
