Recordist's notes
Recorded on Zoom H5. What can you hear from a window of your apartment? In my case, many birds, especially rooks, since I live in the part of the town where is a rook colony. A few cars can be heard, but really only a few, the neighbourhood is calm. For a few seconds you can hear spouses in the window above mine.
