An acoustic monitoring system was deployed in Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve (GRSA) near the Baca National Wildlife Refuge from September 24-October 10, 2008. The purpose of this monitoring effort was to gather data in order to characterize current existing ambient sound levels and estimate natural ambient sound levels, as well as identify audible sound sources. This monitoring effort found GRSA to be exceptionally quiet.
