Hearing Trouble is a cross-disciplinary research project that seeks to better understand the urban environment through an examination of sound and sonic art, focusing on the particular conditions of post-conflict cities undergoing rapid and radical change. Our research will focus on Berlin and Belfast, cities that support vibrant communities of sound artists and that have similar architecture and planning cultures. In contrast to the vast majority of research projects that examine the built environment through a visual focus, our research will analyse and respond to rapidly changing cityscapes via multiple aural perspectives. The project will be lead by a sonic arts historian/practitioner (PI), and an architect/architectural historian (Co-I), who have established a strong foundation of collaborative research through their research group Recomposing the City: Sonic Art and Urban Architectures (www.recomposingthecity.org). Hearing Trouble will be the first major international research project to emerge from this group, demonstrating the significant potential of collaborative research between sonic arts and architecture. In the first instance, we will critically analyse sound art projects and initiatives in Berlin since 1989 that respond to the city's post-conflict conditions. Berlin is internationally recognized as a leader in sonic arts research and creation and has a rich history of sound art exhibition, education programmes, and initiatives that engage issues of the built environment. The projects we will analyse range from city-wide sound art festivals to site-specific sound installations in urban and public space. Key projects include the Tuned City festival in Berlin, and Peter Cusack's Berlin Sonic Places (2012), which brought together sound artists, planners, architects and communities in considering three major redevelopment sites in Berlin. We will further study Bonn Hoeren, an ongoing project conceived and directed by the Berlin-based curator Carsten Seiffarth in which the city of Bonn appoints a City Sound Artist each year (2010-2020). By examining archival material (i.e. project documentation and critique), and by interviewing artists, curators, arts administrators, community groups, architects/planners and audiences, we will show how sound art initiatives have affected the ways in which Berlin and Bonn are understood. Our critical analysis of different projects will emerge from combined sonic arts and architecture perspectives, presenting a unique merging of sound studies and architectural research. Using Berlin and Bonn as sources of exemplar projects, we will then examine sound art since 1998 in Belfast, a post-conflict city with an emerging community of sound art practitioners and a growing discourse about the built environment. In Belfast we will similarly interview a wide range of practitioners and other stakeholders, including architects and city planners. Our ultimate goal is for the research to inform the future development of Belfast, as a potential exemplar for other EU cities. Through Collaborative Workshops with architects, planners, and sound artists in Belfast, we will develop and propose new design strategies that consider sound in relation to the urban environment. Further, through Information Sessions with arts and architecture communities and city planning officials, we will show how a more nuanced understanding of the sound environment can help build better communities. These discussions and the earlier research will form the basis of an Advice Note which will give recommendations on good practice in relation to planning and sound, as well as a co-authored book, conference papers and a Web site. Hearing Trouble is proposed as Northern Ireland's planning powers are being devolved from centralised control to local authorities in 2015. Thus this research has the potential for significant and immediate impact on policy as well as its eventual repercussions in the built environment.

听力问题是一个跨学科研究项目，旨在通过对声音和声波艺术的研究来更好地了解城市环境，重点关注冲突后城市正在经历快速和彻底变化的特殊条件。我们的研究将集中在柏林和贝尔法斯特，这两个城市支持充满活力的声音艺术家社区，并且具有相似的建筑和规划文化。与绝大多数通过视觉焦点检查建筑环境的研究项目相比，我们的研究将通过多个听觉视角来分析和应对快速变化的城市景观。 该项目将由一位声音艺术历史学家/实践者（PI）和一位建筑师/建筑历史学家（Co-I）领导，他们通过他们的研究小组“重构城市：声音艺术与城市建筑”（www.recompositingthecity.org）建立了坚实的合作研究基础。 “听力问题”将是该小组的第一个重大国际研究项目，展示了声音艺术和建筑之间合作研究的巨大潜力。首先，我们将批判性地分析 1989 年以来柏林针对该城市冲突后状况的声音艺术项目和倡议。柏林是国际公认的声音艺术研究和创作领域的领导者，在声音艺术展览、教育项目和涉及建筑环境问题的倡议方面拥有丰富的历史。我们将分析的项目范围从全市范围的声音艺术节到城市和公共空间中特定地点的声音装置。主要项目包括柏林的 Tuned City 音乐节和 Peter Cusack 的 Berlin Sonic Places (2012)，该项目汇集了声音艺术家、规划师、建筑师和社区，共同考虑柏林的三个主要重建地点。我们将进一步研究波恩霍伦 (Bonn Hoeren)，这是一个由柏林策展人卡斯滕·塞法斯 (Carsten Seiffarth) 构思和指导的正在进行的项目，波恩市每年（2010-2020 年）都会任命一名城市声音艺术家。通过检查档案材料（即项目文档和评论），并采访艺术家、策展人、艺术管理者、社区团体、建筑师/规划师和观众，我们将展示合理的艺术举措如何影响柏林和波恩的理解方式。我们对不同项目的批判性分析将从声音艺术和建筑的角度相结合，呈现出声音研究和建筑研究的独特融合。然后，我们将利用柏林和波恩作为范例项目的来源，研究自 1998 年以来贝尔法斯特的声音艺术，贝尔法斯特是一座冲突后城市，拥有新兴的声音艺术从业者社区以及日益增长的关于建筑环境的讨论。在贝尔法斯特，我们将同样采访广泛的从业者和其他利益相关者，包括建筑师和城市规划师。 我们的最终目标是通过研究为贝尔法斯特的未来发展提供信息，使其成为其他欧盟城市的潜在典范。通过与贝尔法斯特的建筑师、规划师和声音艺术家的合作研讨会，我们将制定并提出新的设计策略，考虑声音与城市环境的关系。此外，通过与艺术和建筑社区以及城市规划官员举行的信息会议，我们将展示对声音环境的更细致的了解如何有助于建设更好的社区。这些讨论和早期研究将构成建议说明的基础，该建议说明将提供有关规划和声音的良好实践的建议，以及共同撰写的书籍、会议论文和网站。随着 2015 年北爱尔兰的规划权力从集中控制权下放到地方当局，提出了听力问题。因此，这项研究有可能对政策产生重大而直接的影响，并最终对建筑环境产生影响。
