Listen:Making Sense of Sound is the companion website to the exhibition of the same name at the Exploratorium. In addition to describing the museum exhibition, the website takes visitors into the worlds of 5 Listening Guides, people with highly developed listening skills, and provides Online Activities for visitors to develop their own abilities to listen deeply and carefully.

Listening Guides are skilled listeners, and each Listening Guide page presents a short documentary video on the way each of them uses their listening skills, and links to related online and offline activities.

Listening to Nature features wildlife tracker Doniga Markegard. The related activities engage visitors in distinguishing between different types of bird calls, listening to the quietest sound, and learning techniques for "Listening Like a Wildlife Tracker".

Listening to Get Around presents Dean Hudson, a visually impaired man who describes the way he uses "audio clues" to navigate through the city. Online Activities include the games Audio Pong and Listening Memory, and Build a Soundscape, in which users can add and subtract sounds to a scene to explore how these sounds contribute to sonically defining a place. There are also two related offline activities to try with a friend: a Blindfolded Walk and Find that Sound, in which one person shakes keys or another noisemaker in different locations around a second person, who attempts to point to the keys.

Listening to Make Music introduces visitors to Bart Hopkin, who builds experimental musical instruments. Visitors can watch video of several of his instruments in action, build a new instrument for themselves, and play the Listening Memory Game.

Listening to Solve Problems profiles Lisa Miller, an auto mechanic and high school teacher who diagnoses cars by listening to the sounds they make. Inspired by the way she places a screwdriver against an engine to better hear it, the related "print and do" activity describes how to use a wooden dowel and bone conduction to hear through your bones.

Listening to Process Sound interviews Michael Chorost, who describes how a cochlear implant helped him regain his hearing, and links to some of his award-winning writings about his experience.

The Online Activities Section brings together all of the activities presented in the Listening Guides section, and also includes Sound Puzzles, an activity that challenges users to reconstruct a sound that has been chopped into several pieces.
