Abstract
We present a sonic One Health framework with environmental, animal and human health integration centering on understanding positive and negative effects from the sounds of nature or the sounds from society. Our framework includes a sonic One Health system that describes sound and health; a sonic One Health network that describes specialists needed in our sonic One Health system; a human sonic effects model that reviews how sounds effect the auditory, neurological, cardiovascular, hormonal, and immunological systems; and an integrated set of sonic One Health remediation pathways. We review the literature in noise and health, environmental psychology as it relates to restorative effects of being in nature, and approaches to monitoring sound and perception. We also present three brief case studies, describe future directions for research across eight themes, discuss novel and challenging aspects of our framework, and describe the role that AI may play in our framework.
