Recordist's notes
Several highways pass through Vallecas. The M30, M40, M45, M50, and A3 and A4. The air and sound pollution is high and can be heard from several streets away. I captured this constant hum, from the M40, which is present 24/7 and probably changes slowly over time with changes in car technology.
