Did you ever notice how the attunement to others’ sounds makes you regulate your own? Would you enter a quiet space, like a church, with stomping and rumbling, or do you rather conform to the atmosphere of the room and the behaviour of other people in it? Did you join the community singing events during the pandemics when we couldn’t come together but still wanted to feel connected? – Sound shapes our sense of belonging, safety, and participation – our sonic citizenship. How do you listen, adapt, stay silent or claim space through sound?

With this special issue on sonic citizenship we wish to prompt investigations and reflections on how we audibly participate in and connect with our surroundings.

This special issue is edited by Morten Breinbjerg, Marie Koldkjær Højlund, Jonas R. Kirkegaard & Sissel Raahede Lundgård (Center for Sound Studies, Aarhus University).
