  abstract = {{P}olitical responses to the {COVID}-19 pandemic led to changes in city soundscapes around the globe. {F}rom {M}arch to {O}ctober 2020, a consortium of 261 contributors from 35 countries brought together by the {S}ilent {C}ities project built a unique soundscape recordings collection to report on local acoustic changes in urban areas. {W}e present this collection here, along with metadata including observational descriptions of the local areas from the contributors, open-source environmental data, open-source confinement levels and calculation of acoustic descriptors. {W}e performed a technical validation of the dataset using statistical models run on a subset of manually annotated soundscapes. {R}esults confirmed the large-scale usability of ecoacoustic indices and automatic sound event recognition in the {S}ilent {C}ities soundscape collection. {W}e expect this dataset to be useful for research in the multidisciplinary field of environmental sciences.},
