Chicago Public Radio invites you to contribute to a new collection of sound—from the sounds of the city to the sounds of the prairie. SOUNDMARKS, derived from the word “landmark,” serve to identify sounds which are unique to an area. They are short segments broadcast during moments between programming throughout the day, and aim to share the sounds of the diverse people and places that make up our community.
