kenttäääniä

kenttäääniä is a Finnish word that translates to "field sounds" or "sounds of the field". It is a compound word formed from "kenttä" meaning "field" and "ääniä" which is the plural form of "ääni" meaning "sound".

The term can be used to describe the auditory environment of an open, natural space, such as a meadow or agricultural land. This typically includes sounds produced by flora and fauna indigenous to such environments. Examples might include the buzzing of insects, the chirping of birds, the rustling of grasses in the wind, or the calls of small mammals.

In a broader sense, kenttäääniä might also encompass sounds related to human activity in a field, such as the distant hum of machinery during farming or the sounds of people moving through the area. The specific context in which the word is used would generally clarify which set of sounds is being referred to. It evokes a sense of natural acoustics and the ambient auditory landscape of open rural spaces. The word is not commonly used in everyday conversation but might appear in more descriptive or poetic contexts.
