Introduced in A Dataset and Taxonomy for Urban Sound Research1 Jan 2014 archive 2025-07-28

Urban Sound 8K is an audio dataset that contains 8732 labeled sound excerpts (<=4s) of urban sounds from 10 classes: air_conditioner, car_horn, children_playing, dog_bark, drilling, enginge_idling, gun_shot, jackhammer, siren, and street_music. The classes are drawn from the urban sound taxonomy. All excerpts are taken from field recordings uploaded to www.freesound.org.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

3 shown of 3 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 147. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
