Recordist's notes
The noise cannot be everywhere at the same time. At night streets can become surprisingly quiet. That can give you the chance to filter out some particular details: you hear the steps of a woman coming home, kids that are still awake, somebody vacuuming the living room and drainage water in the sewers.
