What does Essex sound like?

Click on a map marker to hear past and present sounds of Essex, check our latest additions, contribute your own Essex recordings, or find out more about the project. We’re especially interested in capturing your #StayHomeSounds of lockdown in Essex. You can also try our app version, available from the Google app store.

The Essex Sounds map was produced by the Essex Sound and Video Archive as part of the Heritage Lottery Funded project, You Are Hear: sound and a sense of place.
