After presenting a (non exhaustive) list of research groups and programs on "ambiances sonores urbaines" and "soundscapes" with which we developped our cognitive approach, we will process to some analysis of the denominations, translations and definitions of "soundscapes" in different languages, that we collected within COST Action TD0804. It will lead to discuss the variations in the conceptualization of this notion, as well as the methodological consequences it entails in investigating the perceptual aspects and meanings of soundscape and of the close related concept of ambience.
