Soundscape studies were conducted in Nashville, Tennessee in conjunction with the Acoustical Society fall meeting in 2022. Nashville is a growing city known for its musical entertainment district (Broadway), which post-pandemic attracts numerous tourists year round. It also has other nearby surrounding areas which support many businesses and residences. Both the entertainment district and its surrounding areas were the focus of this study. Three pre-soundwalk acoustical tests were conducted during site surveys to determine the soundwalk path and data collection locations.

In addition, potential interventions to improve existing conditions are proposed
