Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt to introduce the concept of microsounds to the study of the urban soundscape. Microsounds are understood here as sounds of a very limited spatial range. The measure (module) of the range is the spatial proximity of the human body. The analysis of urban microsounds includes the issue of their functions, meanings and values, as well as the problem of their presence in the public and private (personal) space.
