“Soundscape Loudmouth” – the sound-based community art project. Through listening and observing, two teams of artists have collected sound and objects in the community of Tai Kok Tsui. From the hidden corner where the invisible connections maintaining the growth of energy among the individuals and communities, artists had revealed the ambient sound and stories in the dense district. Sound as an art form resonates beyond expected borders to the unnoticed sonic relationship with the surrounding.

is a sonic art presentation featuring the auditory imprints of Tai Kok Tsui, exhibiting the interlocking sound-marks of the district in different forms of sound propagation, leading audiences to explore the soundscape through the perspective of an aural observer. Breaking the silence with the trolleys, the explorers search for sounds from the quiet copper wires with magnets; Witnessing the anonymous soundscapes as they become the protagonist in the search for auditory landmarks, with the ever-evolving maps inspecting the city's imagination, we unveil the auditory in both its grand scale and intricate minutiae.
