Neighborhood Songlines

The “Neighborhood Songlines” SonicMap is an interactive digital sound map featuring favorite sounds collected from individual households and businesses in Cincinnati neighborhoods, Pleasant Ridge and Camp Washington (and beyond!). Scroll for more info.

The SonicMap uses your smart phone's GPS to trigger sounds when you walk to different areas on the map, so please make sure to enable location services on your phone.

For the best audio experience, listening with headphones or earbuds is recommended.

Select sounds from this SonicMap have been included in two special music tracks created for The Well’s “Mindful Music Moments” program for schools in Cincinnati and across the nation. To listen to these tracks, please click here.

If you have any technical challenges, please see the SonicMaps troubleshooting guide and FAQ (scroll to "Player" section in FAQ).
