We acknowledge Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and give respect to their Elders, past and present.

Sounds of Australia

Sounds of Australia is the NFSA’s annual capsule of iconic audio moments, honouring recordings which have resonated deeply with communities and audiences across the country.

Every year, we team up with a panel of audio experts – and you – to select the standout recordings that capture our national soundtrack.

Think beloved songs, unforgettable albums, audio memes, catchy advertising jingles, stirring speeches, immersive game soundtracks, and the sounds of nature.

These recordings amplify who we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re headed.

Please be advised that this page contains names, images or voices of deceased Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
