Municipal Ecological Park "Claudino Frâncio (and its Sound Landscape) The Municipal Ecological Park "Claudino Frâncio" is one of the lungs of Sorriso - MT, being located at Avenida dos Imigrantes, Recanto dos pássaros neighborhood, and the left side avenue is Mario Raiter, at the back the Bandeirantes street and on the right the Rua dos Tuiuus. It contains 11.10 hectares of virgin forest, with a very great diversity of birds, animals such as ducks, geese, monkeys, fish, lizards. In it there is a bar that serves various drinks and snacks, two playgrounds for children, a lake, a stream that cuts it internally, having two bridges, inside the park, that pass over this stream. There are several walking trails inside the park, as well as rest areas, benches and tables to enjoy the visual and soundscape of this place.

The Sound Landscape of the Park From a Master's research of the Graduate Program in Studies of Contemporary Culture - ECCO of the Federal University of Mato Grosso, carried out by Professor Cilene Leite de Mello, entitled as "The Sound Landscape of the Municipal Ecological Park "Claudino Frâncio" we will conceptualize the term sound landscape, so that it is understood by readers: For Schafer "sound landscape is a sound environment, whether real environments or abstract constructions, seen as a field of study". (SCHAFER, 2001, p. 366) "… any field of acoustic study. We can refer to a musical composition, a radio program or even an acoustic environment such as soundscapes. (SCHAFER, 2001, p. 23). Thus, the municipal ecological park "Claudino Frâncio" was the stage of this research, where 12 samples of sounds from the place were collected, through audio recordings, between the months of April and July 2021, as a way to characterize the sounds of this environment, through random walks inside it.

After the analysis of these recordings we observed that the most present sounds within this park were: Natural: wind over the trees, waters of the stream and lake, birds such as (pica-pau, sanhaço, bico-de-brasa, maritaca, xorró, pardais, bem-te-vis, which were identified with the help of people who have They are also present in this soundscape, the sounds of ducks, monkeys, lizards crawling on the leaf and sounds around like dogs barking, cats meowing. Another sound very present in the park are the insects: cicadas and crickets. Mixed with these sounds, called the sounds of creation, by Schafer (2001) are the human sounds and there were observed the sounds as human voices: childish and adult being expressed through speeches, screams, moans, coughs, breaths, murmurs, murmurs, trampled on the leaves, on the stones, on the bark of trees, on the asphalt, on earth, Some mechanical sounds were also observed inside the park such as the fountain in the middle of the lake and the grass irrigators and others in the constructions around such as: construction equipment - concrete mixer, chainsaw, floor cutting machines, hammering, sawmill, iron beats. There are also sounds of internal combustion machines around the park such as: motorcycles, cars, trucks, tractors. Sounds were also identified as car and motorcycle horns and winch truck flags.

We are emphasizing here the importance of the soundscape of a place because it is an important object of study to identify a particular culture. Wulf (2007) points out that the function of the ear is as important, or perhaps even more important than that of the eyes saying that: "While the view perceives only objects that are 'in front of it', the ear perceives sounds, tones and timbres that are behind it. Through the ear, the sense and consciousness of space develop. The combination of the ear and the sense of space corresponds to the morphological implantation of the sense of balance in the ear. With the ear, we "locate" ourselves in space and guarantee ourselves the standing station and balance". (WULF, 2007, p. 59-60)

In this research, the author, Professor Cilene Leite de Mello, reports that: "many sounds heard and even captured by recordings, were far from the reach of my eyes. I couldn't see the source of its origin. The birds, for example, I heard several species, but I couldn't see them properly. The wind itself is something that we only notice its presence by the swinging of the trees, branches, by the touch on our face. We don't need to argue much to understand that the reach of the ear is much greater than that of vision". (MELLO, 2021).

Sound Walk The 12 (twelve) audios of the internal sounds of the Municipal Ecological Park "Claudino Frâncio" were made through sound walks that is an individual or group walk in which the focus of perception is on listening to the surrounding sounds. A listening exercise that helps us become aware of our immediate acoustic environment. It's also about the aesthetic pleasures of listening. Listening to sounds that we might otherwise have missed; listening to the rhythm of the sounds; listening to the unique 'voice' of a city. It's about enjoying the sensitive beauty and pure surprise of sound. (https://www.hildegardwesterkamp.ca/sound/installations/Nada/soundwalk/)

"A sound walk, like any excursion, has as its main objective to listen to the environment"… (McCartney, 2014, p. 7)

These 12 (twelve) walks were made by Professor Cilene Leite de Mello in the months of April to August 2021 in the morning and afternoon periods and we put three samples of them, on the side, to be appreciated.

Walk 1 (one) was held on 04/18/2021 at 10:59 a.m. lasting 5'24'' (five minutes and twenty-four seconds).

The walk 2 (two) was held on 06/28/2021 at 4:30 p.m., with a duration of 6'58'' (six minutes and fifty-eight seconds).

Walk 3 (three) was held on 05/07/2021, at 17:00h, with a duration of 15'30'' (fifteen minutes and thirty seconds).

The Sounds Collected in the Ecological Park From the 12 walks carried out in the Park between the months of April and August 2021, thirty different types of sounds were collected. These sounds were classified according to Schafer (2001) into Natural sounds, sounds of society, mechanical sounds and Indicator sounds. Natural sounds are divided into sounds of creation such as wind, water, birds, animals, insects, etc. and human sounds such as voices of adult and children's speech, screams, cough, breath, moans, murmurs, laughter. The sounds of society were music of cars and snack bar, the mechanical sounds are the sounds of automobiles, considered as combustion machines, and the sounds of devices used in constructions such as chainsaws, concrete mixers, floor cutters, drills, among others. And finally, the indicator sounds that are the horns and whistles.
