Thank you Nyt for suggesting I look at this!

Stonehenge design was 'inspired by sounds'
By Jonathan Amos

"Steven Waller's intriguing idea is that ancient Britons could have based the layout of the great monument, in part, on the way they perceived sound."

I really enjoyed that article smile I don't think that "just" sound inspired stonehenge, however this may fit more with vibrations. Interesting possibilities in any case.

The world is changing, I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air.

Nor do I. I think the creation of Stonehenge had many motivations. The article presents an interesting idea though. Regardless, it's so much fun to speculate about Stonehenge!

A question one might ask ones-self is; Was Stonehenge constructed using sound technology?
Like the type of sound technology that was used in the construction of Coral Castle.

It's an interesting theory for certain. However I'm not sure if they've proved anything regarding Stonehenge's acoustics themselves. And maybe I don't entirely understand what the author is trying to say.

Frankly, if you want amazing acoustics, go to the Widow Jane Mine in Rosendale, NY. It's an abandoned cement mine that is now part of a historical site/landmark. The Rosendale cement there (one of the finest types of cement in the world and used to make the Capitol Building and a few other DC landmarks) was dug out, leaving a watery cave which is now used occasionally for concerts because of the amazing acoustics. It was in some movie, but I forget which.
