What can we learn from the soundscape of a pandemic?

The world around us has been completely transformed by the COVID pandemic. Social distancing has changed the way that we interact in the world and go through our daily lives. This led me to thinking: how do these changes alter the sound that we are used to hearing? These sounds are just a few contributions from those who were posed with this question. The variety of sounds in this album demonstrate the similarities and differences that exist in peoples' experiences of this time.
