Today is the 4th of July in the United Sates, otherwise known as "Independence Day."

It is also the first anniversary of the World Listening Project.

Once the sun begins to set, it will be a noisy night with fireworks exploding throughout my neighborhood. Obviously, with the explosions there will be a very wide dynamic wide on my Locustream. Being all located in urban centers, I expect that other U.S.-based streams will pick up the sound of fireworks, too.

My stream on the Soundmap: "chicago_westside"

All the best,
Eric
