How can sound contribute to well-being, social interaction, and a sense of ease in shared spaces?

In this video podcast episode from Hamburg, we speak with Jan Sonntag from Healing Soundscapes at the ligeti center (University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf) about the impact of thoughtfully designed acoustic environments.

Healing Soundscapes are not meant to stand in the foreground — instead, they subtly shape the atmosphere of a space, supporting relaxation, emotional balance and meaningful social encounters.

In the context of creating a Community Corner, these soundscapes help create a welcoming, living-room-like environment where residents can feel comfortable, connected and at ease.

A quiet but powerful example of how interdisciplinary collaboration between research, art and care can enhance everyday life.
