My street

This was recorded from a window of my house around 4:00 PM (2008-06-03). You can hear the front door of the building across the street opening and closing, the sparrows singing on the trees on a street nearby, the trains going from and to the station that is not too far, and the occasional cars passing by. This was recorded from a 2nd floor (or 3rd floor). The sound was normalized (it appears louder) and the noise cleaned (as always). However I let some residual noise to create the sensation of presence. You can hear the city rumble.
PS: The sound should have exactly 9 minutes and 5.1 seconds. It has 9 minutes and 10 seconds instead. Audacity added the extra time when I saved the file, and I don't know why. When I noticed, it was too late. Taking the final silence out should be easy.
