Construction sound effects from building sites and the streets around them. Jackhammers breaking up the road, and the steady bang of hammers as someone frames a wall. Tradespeople at work. Some of it is heard close, some from an apartment window across the street, mixed into the traffic of a big city.

Construction is the sound of a city changing, and it works best in layers. A Jackhammer or an Excavator gives you the main event, with hand tools tapping away underneath and busy Traffic going past. Then the place. A site sounds very different close up from how it does through a closed window high above the street. The roomtones with building work in the background are handy for apartment scenes, where the noise is part of the mood rather than the action. Building and crafting games want cleaner versions, short hammer hits and placements that reward the player.
