Cars, Trams, Birds, Footsteps, Cash Registers. The sounds came out surprisingly clear, considering the noise levels in the CBD. I like the footsteps in particular, because they are sounds that are familiar, but never really foregrounded. It is quite a satisfying sound. The beeping Cash Registers was a good one too, Carl’s idea, because the beeping sound is synonymous with grocery stores and so suggests a vivid image of the queue at one.

Together these sounds might portray a crowded, busy city space, particularly because of the noise level present in each. They might be improved by simply a less sensitive gain setting though, to better isolate each sound. At the same time though, this could reduce the oppressive atmosphere of noise audible.
