A one-of-a-kind celebration of sound and sensory experiences in Hackney London
This March, Hackney plays host to the Sownd Affects Festival, a one-of-a-kind celebration of sound and sensory experiences designed for both the noise-sensitive community and the sound-curious alike. After the success of last year the festival is again running in tandem with World Hearing Day 2026 on 3rd March. The festival spotlights immersive events that reimagine the way we listen, feel, and connect.

About Sownd Affects
We are here to turn noise into profits
We help turn overwhelming environments into calm, inclusive spaces where everyone can focus, connect, or relax.
Join the movement
Are you sensitive to noise?
You are not alone, 30% of us are too. Neurodivergence, hearing conditions, PTSD, some medications and even some diseases can commonly result in a lower "that's too loud" threshold for noise.
Join our community of audio inclusive experiences. From barrier-free gigs to fully captioned festivals and hands-on sound installations, our events immerse you in music and culture without compromise.
