2/22/11, 9:00 A.M, Ticket Kiosk In Subway Station In Grand Central Terminal, NYC
The furthest sounds from my location in line at the ticket kiosk are the clank of subway tracks in the distance.
The sound a medium distance from my location is the cranking and beeping of the turnstiles leading to the subway platform.
The sounds closest to me are the booming subway announcements projected from the PA system directly over my head.
The general sound level is overwhelmingly loud and the amount of sound activity is through with many different sources creating many different sounds.
Frantic
Three sounds that are necessary to the feeling of this sound environment are the frequent PA subway announcements, the hurried footsteps of hundreds of New Yorkers in transit, and the clank of subways approaching and departing from the station.
