Loved reading about wooden megaphones in the forest. In Võru County, Estonia, three monumental wooden megaphones amplify the subtle symphony of the woods. These structures, designed by interior architecture students from the Estonian Academy of Arts, serve as both art installations and immersive sound experiences.
Shaped like giant funnels approximately three meters in diameter, the megaphones capture and amplify the natural sounds of the forest, creating a unique auditory environment for visitors. Positioned strategically, they offer a 360-degree sound bath, enveloping listeners in the rustling of leaves, bird songs, and the whispers of the wind. Such an amazing idea all around!
These structures welcome hikers and nature enthusiasts to pause, listen, and connect with the environment in a profound way. This makes for what seems to be an unique acoustic adventure, to experience nature's sounds like never before. We often take long walks in wooded parks not too far away from where I live. Reading this bring once to mind that we love to call the "Hundred Acre Wood". It sits behind a quiet neighborhood and has more diversity that the other parks. It is a forest that was cleaned up just enough to be walkable. There are times of the year when woodpeckers and other birds are very active. It would be so amazing to hear their sounds focused and amplified.
