Take an audio tour of New Orleans via the Open Sound project. Residents have recorded various sound clips that capture a particular niche of the city—with the help of project directors Heather Booth and Jacob Brancasi— and upload them to an interactive map of New Orleans. From interviews to random street noise, the recordings add a level of intimacy that transcend your average Google map.
