Recent audio-to-image models have shown impressive performance in generating images of specific objects conditioned on their corresponding sounds. However, these models fail to reconstruct real-world landscapes conditioned on environmental soundscapes. To address this gap, we present Geo-contextual Soundscape-to-Landscape (GeoS2L) generation, a novel and practically significant task that aims to synthesize geographically realistic landscape images from environmental soundscapes. To support this task, we construct two large-scale geo-contextual multi-modal datasets, SoundingSVI and SonicUrban, which pair diverse environmental soundscapes with real-world landscape images. We propose SounDiT, a diffusion transformer (DiT)-based model that incorporates environmental soundscapes and geo-contextual scene conditioning to synthesize geographically coherent landscape images. Furthermore, we propose the Place Similarity Score (PSS), a practically-informed geo-contextual evaluation framework to measure consistency between input soundscapes and generated landscape images. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SounDiT outperforms existing baselines in the GeoS2L, while the PSS effectively captures multi-level generation consistency across element, scene,and human perception.
