Smell and hearing are vital in remembering a place, and according to Stanley (Waterman, Springer, Netherlands 65:1–2, 2006), they can invoke more memories than sight, allowing for the formation of more powerful mental images. For this author, sight captures a more comprehensive panorama quickly, while the senses of hearing and smell react more slowly, allowing for deeper memory records. Focusing only on hearing and taking up Murray (Schafer, R.M. (1991) O ouvido pensante. São Paulo,Ed. da Unesp) concept of Soundscape, in this communication, we look at the need to “archive the sounds of the world” for a group of elderly people by recruiting the collection, reproduction and creation of sounds. The research method adopted for this study was action research. This methodology allowed the intended changes were implemented more effectively, with an integrated analysis underlying it that generated reformulations throughout the process. One of the most significant results allowed us to identify the role of music as a triggering stimulus for autobiographical memories always associated with emotions. It was clear that it was not episodic memory that activated sound memories but the opposite.
