DESCRIPTION:Oceans are not silent. And this statement is even more real un
 der ice conditions. The so-called underwater noise chorus is extremely ric
 h and seasonally changing since it is made of multiple components: the nat
 ural sound is contributing more than in any other places since ice is a ma
 jor contributor with sounds of a large diversity according to the type of 
 ice that is present. The biological sounds are also unique in ice conditio
 ns since biodiversity in such areas are usually of exceptional nature. At 
 last\, the anthropogenic sounds are increasingly contributing to the overa
 ll noise chorus\, mainly linked with the changing climate conditions that 
 enable human maritime activities to take place. These changing conditions 
 lead to the emerging challenge of underwater noise in ice conditions\, esp
 ecially in the Arctic. Underwater noise is nowadays recognized as being a 
 serious threat for marine life and increasing international regulations ar
 e developed in many countries as per the EU Marine Strategy Framework Dire
 ctive. The merging regulations appeal for new and innovative management an
 d conservation solutions and tools.
