When you see a location on the map, do you ever wonder what it might sound like there? Well soon you’ll be able to hear the sounds of the world thanks to Wild Sanctuary which has stacked up over 3,500 hours of recordings.

Wild Sanctuary owner Bernie Krause has spent over 40 years accumulating different sounds from around the globe. Audio of cities, glaciers and forests are among the collection.

Krause says, “A picture tells a thousand words, but a sound tells a thousand pictures.” This upgrade to Google Earth will be available after the Where 2.0 conference on May 29th.
