Recordist's notes
extremely heavy traffic in the morning rush hour in one of the principal ways of access to the city. A small sidewalk passes under the railway bridge. When traffic lights are green, cars echo in the tunnel and train passes over, decibels rise to unberable levels. Listen to this noxious recording.
