Crossfade
Dusk on the avenue with these city sounds
These city sounds take you to a crossing on a wide avenue as dusk falls, and the whole street comes to your browser for free. Lights come on in the windows of the tall stone buildings. Cars and buses roll past in a steady stream, and the city hums all around you.
People talk as they walk by, their words lost in the crowd. The crossing signal beside you ticks fast. A bus hisses at its stop, pulls away, and growls off down the road. Then a horn beeps twice down the street, and you jump a little.
A bicycle bell rings as a rider slips past. Above you, pigeons coo on a stone ledge and flutter their wings. You let the light change twice before you cross, happy to stand still while the whole city keeps moving.
To hear the traffic without the people, choose Without voices. Pick Rush hour for louder traffic, buses, and horns.
What you hear on this busy street
- Busy city street: Steady traffic flows past, with cars and buses idling, moving off, and humming all around you. Plays all the time.
- People on the pavement: Many people talk as they walk by, a soft murmur where no single voice stands out. Plays all the time.
- Car passing close by: A single car drives past close to you, its engine and wheels rising and fading away. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Bus pulling away: A bus lets out a hiss of air brakes, then its engine rises as it pulls away from the stop. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Car horn down the street: A horn beeps twice a little way down the street, short and not too loud. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Crossing signal ticking: A crossing signal ticks fast for a few seconds, with traffic behind it. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Pigeons on a ledge: A few pigeons coo softly on a stone ledge above the street, then flutter their wings. Plays at random moments, about once every 10 minutes.
- Bicycle bell: A bike rider rings a bell twice while passing, a quick, bright ring. Plays at random moments, about once every 10 minutes.
