Here is a small museum of sounds that we no longer hear in our daily lives. Still present in our lives a few years ago for some, others disappeared a long time ago. Like a physical museum, this page is intended to bring together and make accessible to all, this collective heritage through a selection.
The sounds are sorted in reverse chronological order. Indeed, it is quite easy to date the "birth" of a noise thanks to the date of the invention of the object or of its democratization or its discovery. However, it is very difficult to date its disappearance: there are still people who continue to listen to the old cassette which has remained stuck in the car radio, or who restore, maintain and use old machines... So this is the date of "birth" noises which allows the sorting
The museum being still in the process of being set up, it is still quite poor, but I am working on it.
Excellent visit, here we touch with the ears 😉

If you are interested in the subject, search for the term "Sound Archeology". It brings together a whole bunch of very interesting research on the "soundscape memory", thanks to renowned researchers such as "Mylène PARDOEN".
There are also other missing sound sites, such as KeepTheSound or SaveTheSounds
If you have any suggestions, ideas, contact me!
The exhibition of this museum is easy thanks to a sound diffusion system. LaSonotheque has developed one perfectly intended for this type of sound installation: "Exposi'Son".
Thanks to Clara and Gilles SARDIN, my parents, for their help, numerous recordings and photos.
