The work of the World Soundscape Project (WSP) conceives of community as moments of acoustic intelligibility that emerge against a backdrop of industrial modernity, an approach that by no means exhausts all possibilities of community formation through sound and listening. This chapter asks, with a term that has as much descriptive potential as "acoustic community", how can it be deployed so that it accommodates research questions that extend beyond intelligibility alone? As a sonic ethnographer whose work is based in (and on) Havana, Cuba, I make use of the term in my research in the city. I argue that "acoustic community" remains a highly useful conceptual tool; however, its utility is contingent upon acknowledging and accommodating the historical geography in which it is used.
