Mantle Sound is a non-commercial research group for mountaineering acoustics, founded in 2025. We record in mountain environments and analyse what we record, with signal processing and, where it helps, machine learning.
Two other names appear on this site:
- MAN Network (Mountaineering Acoustics Network): the people who take part in Mantle Sound's work, including recordists, researchers and developers. Membership is open; see Join Us.
- Mantle Production: the label that publishes Mantle Sound's recordings, at prod.mantle-sound.org.
