Our study, which is based on a qualitative survey, attempts to understand everyday sound perception in urban public spaces. Parameters influencing sound perception are investigated. The elaboration of a complex methodological protocal allows us to match qualitative and quantitative data (questionnaires, focus groups, pictures, acoustic measurements, interviews, sonic mind maps). The results presented in the paper illustrate the importance of sonic perception in the evaluation of urban ambiances.
