Announcement sound effects for the voice on the tannoy that nobody quite catches. Station announcements echoing across a platform, with a chime before the next train is called. Self-checkouts nagging at shoppers. Stadium speakers booming over a crowd. All recorded where they happen, so the room is part of the message, echo and all.

An announcement is as much room as voice. The words bounce off tiles and glass, which is why a platform call recorded in place sounds right in a way a clean voice-over never will. The recordings here come from rail and metro stations in several countries, from the Train Station concourse to the platform edge, so the language and the chime match the place. Shops and stadiums cover the rest, from a checkout's polite instructions to a Tannoy crackling over a football crowd. Use them low in the mix. Nobody in real life listens to these properly either.
