As　the　primary　setting　for　students’　daily　life　and　learning,　university　campuses　are　facing　a　growing　concern　about　the　impact　of　increased　stress　on　students’　emotional　well-being.　The　sound　environment　plays　a　critical　role　in　affecting　students’　mental　health,　learning　efficiency,　and　overall　well-being.　However,　research　on　the　influence　of　campus　soundscapes　on　students’　emotions　is　limited,　and　the　mechanisms　behind　these　effects　remain　to　be　explored.　This　study,　using　the　Qishan　Campus　of　Fuzhou　University　as　a　case,　investigates　the　impact　of　campus　soundscapes　on　students’　emotional　perception　and　restorative　effects.　Four　typical　functional　areas　(academic　zone　(ACZ),　residential　zone　(RDZ),　recreational　zone　(RCZ),　and　administrative　zone　(ADZ))　were　selected　to　analyze　the　effects　of　natural　and　artificial　sounds　on　students’　emotions　and　physiological　states.　Based　on　EEG,　eye　tracking,　sound　level　measurements,　and　questionnaire　surveys,　a　one-way　repeated　measures　ANOVA　was　used　to　assess　students’　emotional　arousal,　valence,　and　physiological　restoration　under　different　soundscape　conditions.　The　results　showed　that　natural　sounds,　such　as　the　sound　of　wind-blown　leaves　and　flowing　water,　significantly　improved　students’　emotions　and　restorative　effects,　while　artificial　noises　like　construction　sounds　and　traffic　noise　had　negative　impacts.　Additionally,　subjective　perceptions　of　soundscape　restoration　were　positively　correlated　with　arousal,　valence,　and　acoustic　comfort,　and　negatively　correlated　with　gaze　frequency　and　pupil　size.　The　findings　provide　a　theoretical　foundation　for　optimizing　campus　soundscape　design　and　highlight　the　importance　of　natural　sounds　in　enhancing　students’　mental　health　and　academic　environment.　©　2024　by　the　authors.
