City sound effects from downtown at rush hour to a quiet park on a Sunday. Sirens weaving through traffic and rain hissing on busy streets. Recorded all over the world, across the Americas, India, Europe and East Asia. And a few cities that don't exist yet, for sci-fi. Every city sounds a bit different. Listen closely and you can tell.

A city ambience is layers. Underneath sits the hum, a mix of distant Traffic and the general roar of people living close together. On top go the things that place you: a siren, a bus pulling away, a shop shutter going up, voices in the local language. That last bit matters. A street in New York and a street in Mumbai sound nothing alike, even with the same traffic. The world ambiences here are long, steady recordings that let you build a whole location, and the hidden-microphone public spaces catch people being natural. For a closer view, step down to a single Street or into a Market. Rain changes a city completely, softening everything and adding a hiss to every passing car.
