Soundwalks use mapped scores to guide attention to specific sounds

Evidence

The soundwalk is an exploration of the soundscape of a given area using a score as a guide. The score consists of a map, drawing the listener’s attention to unusual sounds and ambiances to be heard along the way. A soundwalk might also contain ear training exercises. — Schafer, Murray R, The Soundscape- Our Sonic Environment…, 695
