The experience of a sound stimulus is closely related to the meaning that people attach to it. In Zagreb area, after the series of earthquakes which struck in 2020, people have started reporting the increased noticing and reaction to the sounds similar to the ones produced by earthquakes. During the last year, project InSPE(S) was started with the goals: a) to establish the infrastructure for measuring sound and vibrations in earthquake-affected urban areas, and b) to examine the connection between objective characteristics of sound and vibrations with people’s perception, personality traits and previous experiences of earthquakes. Monitoring methodology is structured in two ways: sound and vibration measurements are performed using a network of sensor nodes, while respondents who live near the sensors provide their experience of the salient events captured by the sensors through a mobile application. This contribution will present the soundscape monitoring system and research methodology utilized in the project as well as discuss some preliminary results of the measurements campaign.
