Summary/Abstract: The article raises the issue of the use of sound based methods – including in particular the practice of the deep listening – in the research on urban cultural spaces. It posits the question of the status of the urban knowledge produced with regard to the auditive epistemologies. The considerations revolve around the assumption of the interconnection between the sonic, functional and socio cultural dimension of the urban space. The article associates the practice of deep listening with the idea of critical engagement in urban research and with the approach of autoetnography. Its empirical basis are the results of the re¬search project Soundscape of Saint Martin Street realized at the Institute of Cultural Studies and the Institute of Acoustics at Adam Mickiewicz University, in the academic year 2014/2015.
