The Sounds is a free community newspaper for and about the residents of nine Chicago neighborhoods.
It was launched in 1977 as a not-for-profit corporation by ten families in the neighborhood as a successor to the Sauganash Echoes established in 1967.
Our Mission
To be of service to the general area, its people and organizations; to help maintain and further a spirit of community pride and neighborhood friendship and stability; to introduce newcomers and develop better relations between neighbors, old and new.
First issue in 1977

The Sounds will publish nine editions, September through June, with a circulation of 7,000. Papers are delivered to households and neighborhood businesses.
The Sounds focuses on news, information and events happening in the area. Articles and photos are submitted by residents and local business owners. We encourage you to share what’s going on in your corner of the neighborhood.
