Traffic Ambience Sound Effects
Traffic ambience sound effects with a well-stamped passport. Los Angeles. London, Berlin, Istanbul, Shanghai, Mexico, India, Nigeria and small British towns. Wet streets with tyres hissing through the slush. Single pass-bys for when you need one car, and long steady backgrounds for when you need the whole road. Every city sounds a bit different. Locals can tell.
