Answer to Question 1


  • Many soundscape ecologists believe that every nonhuman species communicates its own acoustic niche. Humans also make their own acoustic niches and interact sonically with nonhuman sounds.



Answer to Question 2

 The sound (unpleasant to Thoreau) of a steam engine whistle.
 Since he was describing his wilderness soundscape, he omitted the features of farm and city soundscapes of the mid-nineteenth-century.
