Summary: | The article is about emotions induced by the experience of sound. It aims at sharpening the assumption that emotional dimension is not only about an individual sphere, but rather a social sphere, which can contribute to its comprehension. Through case studies, we will argue that sound, through the emotions it engenders, participates in generating specific places identity or revealing it to the users. If « the sound makes the space public » (Amphoux, 2014), some projects are also the sign of a certain way to design the city by the institutions. How the sound interacts with an urban identity that the city of Strasbourg wishes to convey? How feelings accompany these changes? Some neighborhoods, like Neudorf, backbone of the urban marketing of Strasbourg, are put forward through the contemporary art, arousing controversial emotions; for Hautepierre, popular district in urban renovation, projects with sound are carried by an association to reveal memories connected to the urban changes.
