Background listening

Barry Truax has, according to Borgo (1999), “described three general modes of engaging with the acoustic soundscape: listening-in-search, listening-in-readiness, and background listening”. 5 (pp. 79–80)

Background listening “occurs continuously when we are not listening for a particular sound . . . where the listener is actively engaged in some other activity”. (p. 80)
