N2  - In this study, the formula proposed by Cassina et al. (2018) to predict tranquility scores in public spaces was subjected to validation by using an online questionnaire, that included three parks and one inner city alley in the city of Groningen. Other soundscape research indicated that more variables than originally included could be of influence on the tranquility scores given by participants, such as certain visual elements, age, and the meaning participants give to the word ?tranquility?. By including a location in the study that was not commonly seen as a place where people go to experience
tranquility, the influence of visual elements marked as ?positive? could be established; for the other two
mentioned variables, no significant evidence could be identified. The performance of administering the
questionnaires online, instead of on site, was evaluated with the Cassina formula - the results showed that participants experienced the environmental sounds played in the questionnaire as loud as they should have heard them, validating the research method.
