Recordist's notes
On the western side of Wiener Platz, water flows down several steps. The continuous rushing and gurgling creates a distinct acoustic space, masking the surrounding sounds and creating a more secluded space within the public square. The steps are used as a place to sit and linger. Children play here, their voices emerging from the sound of the water. Air traffic remains clearly audible despite the strong water noise.
