About La Semaine du Son (The
Week of Sound)
Since 2004, the association The Week of the Sound organizes one week
of events to introduce the public to a better knowledge of sounds
and to the importance of the quality of the sound environment, which
must be not only protected but in many cases restored.
This unique event was rewarded, in 2006, by a Décibel d’Or
(Decibel of Gold) awarded by Le Conseil national du bruit (the National
council of noise), the authority of consultation placed under the
patronage of the French Ministry of ecology and development. La Semaine
du Son benefits from the support of the French Ministry for Culture
and Communication, the French Ministry of Health, from the French
Ministry of national Education and from the French Ministry of ecology
and sustainable development. Organism of general interest with educational
character and scientist, non-profit association, The Week of the Sound
constitutes a pole of knowledges, know-how and information about the
sound. It privileges a transversal -cultural, medical, industrial,
educational and economic- approach. Founded and chaired by Christian
Hugonnet, it is recognized of educational and scientific interest.
