The translation from air condition drone to the monotonous drone of the vans and trucks on the city streets creates a continuous sound that combines the confines of the indoors to the outside world. The sound is arresting and dampens any form of energy the active city could muster, from the occasional car horn to the very rare bird chirp. There was no avoiding this sound, except by hiding from it with headphones, but that is just a solitary solution to a collective problem, as the drone will always linger.
