We’re excited to announce that the Soil Acoustics online shop is officially open! After years of research, development and field testing, the Soil Acoustic Meter (SAM) is now available to order directly through our website.
After years of DEFRA-funded research, development and rigorous field testing, SAM, the world’s first handheld device for listening to the hidden life of the soil, is ready to go to work. Using cutting-edge acoustic technology, SAM enables researchers, agronomists, farmers, and land managers to gain real-time insights into below-ground biological activity. From earthworms and beetles to ants and other soil-dwelling organisms, SAM captures the vibrant soundscape of healthy soil.

What Can You Use SAM For?

Whether you’re tracking biodiversity, managing an estate, or researching soil function, SAM gives you fast, field-ready insight with biological sound data captured straight from the source.
