Standards are widely acknowledged agreements that make issues and procedures comparable, compatible, and safe. Standards, therefore, help speak a common language and are considered a means of quality assurance, particularly in the field of design. However, in respect to Soundscape research being regarded as a subject of acoustic ecology, there is a limitation: How can standardization assess and evaluate Soundscape entities in an appropriate way which takes ecologic diversity into account? Can descriptors be found which indicate Soundscape qualities other than by measured sound pressure levels, or by surveyed human perception of pleasantness and annoyance? While it is fully acknowledged that these indicators will continue to play a key role in the discussion on Soundscape quality, they fail to address the distinction and the specific “atmosphere” of a specific Soundscape entity. “Atmosphere,” as suggested by Gernot Boehme (1993), is “the inbetween” of environmental qualities and human states. By this definition, a specific “atmosphere” is bound to a specific space. This paper explores the potential of using descriptors of “atmosphere,” such as in the architectural and urban design process, to help further expand the specification of Soundscape standards, but also to exploit the concept of off-standard Soundscape solutions.
