Popis: Coastal lagoons are valuable sources of ecosystem services and important for regional development plans. Human pressure threats these areas, so increasing knowledge about coastal lagoons is essential to enhance their protection. Here we investigated the temporal and spatial patterns of the soundscape in the Mar Chiquita coastal lagoon (Buenos Aires, Argentina), the unique coastal lagoon of Argentina. The study was conducted during May–June and November months. Four recorders were deployed along the lagoon and one was located close to invasive polychaete aggregates to investigate their effects on the soundscape. The analysis of acoustic energy revealed a strong circadian rhythm involving the lagoon and a spatial differentiation driven by low frequency (
