Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines night-time bedroom soundscapes to highlight the significance of embodied geographies of home in understanding lived inequalities of housing. The article presents an analysis of responses (n =174) to the Mass Observation Project ‘Your Bedroom’ (2017) directive, in which UK panellists were asked about their bedrooms. The mundane, ordinary and frequent noise disturbance from neighbourhoods and neighbours is documented to contribute to an understanding of the sensory geographies of night-time domesticities. The article demonstrates that embodied experiences of night-time bedroom soundscapes, including sleep practices, are shaped by housing, including residential location, building type, and ownership/tenure. The article concludes by arguing that attention to soundscapes is significant in developing an embodied understanding of the inequalities of contemporary geographies of housing and home.
