ABSTRACT.<\/strong> The article examines the methodological aspects of reconstructing a historical soundscape using the example of the Siberian historical settlement of Tyumen from the 17th to early 20th centuries. The study offers a unique example of “recreating” a city\u2019s soundscape using written sources. It analyzes the evolution of the source material, from early administrative documents to the popular periodicals of the early 20th century. The historiography of soundscape research by Western and Russian scholars is explored in detail. The need for a differentiated methodological approach to different chronological periods, depending on the nature and comprehensiveness of the sources, is demonstrated and confirmed. For the 17th\u201318th centuries, only hypothetical modeling is possible, for the 19th century, partial structural reconstruction, and for the early 20th century, comprehensive restoration of the soundscape. Using materials from Sibirskaya torgovaya gazeta (Siberian Trade Newspaper), travelers\u2019 notes, and cartographic sources, the transformation of Tyumen\u2019s soundscape from a hi-fi to a lo-fi environment is traced in the context of modernization processes. The study reveals new aspects of studying Siberian historical cities, with the potential to extend similar research methods to cities in the Ural-Volga region and Central Russia. It is concluded that studying written sources to identify “non-standard,” “secondary” information about sounds holds promise for reconstructing a comprehensive picture of the history of urban settlements and advancing an understanding of the macro-processes of the past, tracing the signs of changing eras and the qualitative manifestations of these changes in the sound of the urban environment (for example, the emergence of new sounds associated with technological progress and the formation of an industrial society).<\/p>\n
