Soundcities is an open source database of city sounds and soundmaps from around the world, using found sounds and field recordings.
It is possible to browse the submitted sounds by location on a Google Map. It is also possible to browse by mood. The Google Map includes a number of sound recordings made in lots of cities around the world and all the sounds can be listened to directly from the map.
