Abstract
Over the past decade or so, there have been a number of research studies, summarized herein, that indicate context is a potentially important intervening variable in assessing the soundscape in a park or wilderness area. Context is primarily provided by the corresponding visual landscape but may, in testing situations, be provided in other ways such as a verbal or written description. Context has been shown to be important in sound quality testing of automobile and product sounds, but its importance in assessing environmental sounds is less well documented. This paper discusses these various issues and suggests possible courses of action.
