Abstract
Based on COST, the European Cooperation in Science and Technology as an instrument supporting cooperation among scientists and researchers across Europe, collaborations among soundscape researchers was and is still encouraged (COST action TD 0804). In this context, researchers from 18 COST countries and 7 partners outside Europe come together and work on terminology, collection and documentation of soundscapes, harmonization of methodologies and indicators, and design of soundscapes. One scientific issue deals with sound source constellations in soundscapes and evoked attention-attracting processes. Humans can easily focus on a certain source suppressing the noise of other sources. This process obviously influences the general appreciation of the whole soundscape. In different tests this phenomenon was investigated and its potential analyzed with respect to soundscape design. The process of international and interdisciplinary cooperation within the COST framework will be shortly described and benefits and limitations discussed. Moreover, different case studies will be presented to show the effect of source attention and its impact on soundscape evaluation.
