Contribute a Moment of Sound

The Resonate Data Lab Sound Archive collects meaningful, beautiful, or memorable sounds from everyday life. Anyone can donate a moment of sound and share the story behind it.

How It Works

1. Choose a Moment and Record it
   Find a sound that matters to you. It could be anything—a creaking swing, birds in a park, footsteps, a favorite snack being eaten, or a quiet moment at home.

2. Reflect on it
   Use a few sentences to answer:
   • What are we hearing?
   • Where and when was it recorded?
   • Why does it matter to you?
   • Any emotions, memories, or thoughts attached?
3. Submit Your Contribution
   Include:
   • An audio file (MP3/WAV)
   • Your description
   • Your name or initials (optional)
   • Optional: permission for others to remix it

Why Contribute?

Archiving sounds helps us:

• Remember small, meaningful moments
• Share experiences with others
• Create a public sonic memory for the Resonate Data Lab community

IDEA FOR LATERR Every donated sound may appear in the landing page randomiser, letting visitors experience the archive one moment at a time.
