Sound Walk

I walked around Union Square during the afternoon and of course since its union square in the afternoon it was crowded and a lot of noise. Lots of cars driving sounds and I hear car honking their horns in the distance. I hear the multiple conversations people are having about many things. People talking about going to Whole Foods or Trader Joe's because that area has those major stores around. I mainly heard just the movement of the people walking to wherever they were going and birds flapping their wings. While passing by stores I hear the music that they are playing in their stores. I also noticed sound marks of the trains below me. Hearing the automated voice saying what the next stop is and what trains are coming, and hearing the trains coming into the station and leaving the station while the people are walking up the stairs passing on another. I heard people trying to sell something to people passing by or trying to get them to sign up for something that union square typically has. Hearing skateboarders riding around and doing tricks and the group of friends that are commenting on if the other landed the trick or not. When moving down to more quiet streets I mainly heard tree rustling and things in the distance. Doors opening and closing and the random passerby conversation. The last sounds I remember hearing was keys and someone unlocking their door to go to their apartment or office building and the door closing. It was an interesting experience and would think about doing it again someday.
