Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is an attempt to reconstruct and analyze literary representations of the sound environment of modernist Łódź, taking into account its diversity - city noise, industrial bustle, silence, processes of semantic harmonization or disintegration of the sonosphere as the effects of aural poetics. The field of interest also included issues related to the social diversity of the city's sound space. The sound environment of Łódź presented in literature until 1939 was presented as a sphere of literary resonances which, in varying intensities, highlight the resonance between modernity, its psychocorporeal experience and creativity.
