            Abstrakt

            The soundscape of cities is a subject of research of various disciplines, e.g., acoustics,
            anthropology, landscape architecture, geography, urban studies, sociology, musicology. Whe
            representatives of other sciences concentrate on non-musical phonic elements which co-crea

            sphere of towns, phenomena of the so-called melosphere or the characteristic, significant 
            out by men from the sound background, are in the center of interest of musicologists. The 
            significance in the above definition has a strict musical reference, but also a social one

            significances and values of the melosphere as cultural transmission. Research on these phe
            not only its documentation but also an identification of the phonic identity of the city. 

            functional and axiological aspects of musical sounds in the city space require taking into
            their reception by inhabitants of the town which is examined through interviews.
