Downtown sound effects from city centres in full swing. Streets busy with people and traffic, and pedestrian lanes full of passing conversation. In the older quarters, trams roll by while church bells ring out. After dark the nightlife takes over. There are quieter corners as well, parks and riverside streets a block or so from the noise.
Downtown is its own kind of busy, more people on foot than in cars, voices close by and traffic a street away. The recordings here come from real city centres by day and by night, and the long backgrounds sit comfortably under a full scene. A Church Bell or a passing tram puts a downtown in an older city straight away. Down by the water, a harbour adds a Ferry and the shipyard at work, which suits a port town. The pedestrian streets come with passersby and snatches of conversation recorded through the seasons.
