The author explores the role of everyday sounds in musicians' creative processes, emphasizing that our ears are not passive receptors but tools through which we can organize time, space, and our experiences within them. The study consists of three sections: a theoretical overview of anthropological literature on sound, a historical review of key composers, musicians, and artists of the 20th century who laid the foundations for the creative use of everyday sounds in music, and author’s experiences from the field. Within these frameworks, the author examines sound perception in cultural and creative contexts. He attempts to expand the conception of musical instruments beyond the traditional and to emphasize the appeal of imperfect everyday environmental sounds in conveying uniquely human experiences. Through the exploration of social and cultural aspects of sound, the author highlights musicians' creative relationship with everyday sounds. He concludes the study with an experimental musical composition that exemplifies the author's subjective listening experience of street sounds.
