Abstract
A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product generates a digital map of a physical location based on a user's field of interest and local sounds. One or more processors receive a user's field of interest from a computing device used by a user. The processor(s) map the user's field of interest to a specific sound pattern, and retrieve a digital audio file from a sound capturing device. The sound capturing device generates the digital audio file and a physical location descriptor for captured sound. The processor(s) match the digital audio file to the specific sound pattern, and generate an icon that represents the specific sound pattern and the physical location at which the sound is captured. The icon is overlaid onto a digital map, which is sent to the computing device used by the user.
