The Garden of Sound is one of the many gardens of the New Seafront. There are some tall trees, but most of the garden is covered with lower plants. When it is windy, the reeds of the north and north-east side produce a sound that takes us to a coastal natural landscape and also isolate the city noises. The gravel also produces sounds when we walk on it, but also the air “plays” a sound game with the special structures with holes, which are reminiscent of speakers. Several of these structures have been vandalized. The garden is traversed by a pathway leading to the Garden of Roses, features three linear water surfaces and is also home to the Monument of the Korean War Dead. Two pergolas enclose a central atrium each, creating spaces for rest and relaxation. Externally, they are fenced off by a metal mesh, on which plants grow.
It is one of the gardens that activate the senses. This particular one focuses on the sense of hearing, as is the case with the Garden of Music, when a musical event takes place there. Similarly, other gardens activate other senses, such as smell and sight in the Garden of Roses and the Garden of the Mediterranean Sea and touch in the Garden of Sand.
