This article addresses the role of sound and silence in different types of memorials – monuments, memorials and museums. It shows how silence plays an important role which can be pierced by a sudden resounding sound – be it a whisper or the ringing of a bell, or oil coming out of a wreck. The authors focused their analysis on memorials in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and Israel, which are inextricably linked to a difficult heritage. The aim of using sound in a space commemorating tragic events is to appeal to the visitor’s emotions, as well as to create a specific narrative.
