British Library London

The general ambience of the British Library in London. Recorded on minidisc February 2008. This is one of the galleries - the one which holds exhibits of books and manuscripts including Magna Carta. There is a lot of noise from air conditioning units. The ambience is very "closed" due to the relatively low ceilings and the carpeted floors.Footsteps and voices can be heard.

I never thought about what the ambience was like in a library.

Perfect - just what I need - non-specific or identifiable background library sounds. Thank you!
