The myNoise Sampling Sessions' Photo Album

The Forest of Ardennes is a region of extensive woods, rough terrain and rolling hills in Belgium and Luxembourg. This sampling session aimed at evaluating the sonic potential of an area that is located just two hours drive away from home, but suffers from a lot of noise pollution. This session has let to some good recording, though many were ruined by distant aircrafts passing by - up to 15 planes per hour!
