Recordist's notes

This S-Bahn station sits in the middle of 2 motorways - the busiest route in and out of the city. Waiting there one is constantly surrounded and immersed in traffic. Sometimes you can't even hear the trains arriving. The Berlin Senate's publication on city noise describes this as Berlin's noisiest spot.
