BBC said they're interested in sounds, & not voices. Yet, without being a spoilsport, I reckon Tan Pin Pin already captured, as touted, "the quirkiness of the Singaporean aural landscape" in her documentary Singapore Gaga.

But don't let stop you.

Thanks for the mention. We'd really love you to contribute to our audio map. We're especially interesting in soundscapes or elements of soundscapes that are endangered. Is there anything that you can think of that you can hear now but that might not be around in say 10 or 20 years?

Have a little think and feel free to submit things via our website, and if you're on Twitter you can follow us at http://www.twitter.com/bbc_sos

Many thanks indeed,
Kate
