Re: [AUDITORY] Environmental sound database for memory studies



Hi Nadia,

Here are some references that may help you find what you are looking for.  There have been quite a few environmental sound research projects in recent years including some focused on memory and cognition, so I am sure there is more...

There is also a set of stimuli from McDermott's lab https://mcdermottlab.mit.edu/svnh/Natural-Sound/Stimuli.html

Another excellent resource is https://freesound.org/ but you will need to spend time seething through and finding what you are looking for and ensuring quality.

I would also be interested in learning about other databases that exist.

Best of luck with your project!

Dear list,

I am looking for a database of environmental sounds to be used for an auditory memory experiment. Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!
