A collaborative sound map of New Orleans


Open Sound New Orleans is a community media project that invites and enables New Orleanians to document their lives in sound. Their intent is to make more accessible the authentic, unedited sounds and voices of New Orleans.

Sharing the sounds of the city helps celebrate and promote the city’s unique culture. But it also serves each contributor – open to everyone – as a simple way to extend their own experience to others and participate in New Orleans' public culture.

The site also hosts a Facebook page as an additional opportunity for locals to connect. More than a way for residents to celebrate their home, the site gives potential visitors a deeper understanding of the town’s rich music history and a unique way to experience a piece of New Orleans.
