Sound Walk

I realized that when I am on the train I usually never pay attention to the sounds that are around because I am so busy and I have so much going on.

The specific sounds I hear are loud whistles and horns. There are bells jingling. There are   many different textures to the sounds I hear. I hear thick quick beeps, and deeper longer beeps as well. I also hear sound marks, for instance I hear a guy's voice getting louder for certain words such as "I'm assuming" "I'm certain that" and other words. The words that preceded the ones I just explained are followed by other words which the guy lowers his voice to say, therefore I heard a voice, however I did not hear anything but the sound of the voice. I could not understand what was being said though.

When the train rises to go above ground there are sounds of steam or pipes letting out exhaust and the sounds of the tracks becomes more intense. The sounds as the train is going underground are like a whirlpool of trains. Some of the sound signals are the conductor announcing the next stop.

As the train drives further uptown it sound like digging and banging. When the train takes off after each stop I hear different keynotes, after the stop I just passed I realized that there are vibrations and stomps. A man just coughed and I am realizing that his cough is very similar to sound of the keynotes I am hearing.

While passengers get off I hear the sound marks of thick coats and pants brushing against each other. I just heard another sound signal and it was a walkie-talkie. While getting off the train I hear the sounds of cars engines, and busses. I also hear crickets, and it seems to me as though the wind is complaining with the expression of its voice. I hear footsteps and people swiping their metro cards. There are taxi drivers shouting "Taxi Taxi!" I just heard the sound of another train and it sounds like the man who just cleared his throat. I hear a screeching sound and the sounds of different whistles. As I walk home I hear the electricity making an electric wave sound. I also hear the car coming up and down the road. Upon coming in I hear silence and realize that so many signs are not paid any attention and are overlooked.
