Highway 1.wav

Cape Breton - Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada
Ambient Sounds

Recorded along the side of Peacekeeper's Way, known locally as the "Sydney Bypass." Includes a few really nice big trucks passing in the first half of the recording. Throughout the recording, you can occasionally hear a tractor's frame rattling and faint reverse "beep beep" sound; there was construction being done behind me at the time.

At the very end, you can hear me talking to one of the construction workers as they come up to me to ask what I was doing squatting down behind the highway guardrail like a wingnut... ;) That's why I created the second recording, "Highway 2," but I decided to provide this one as well because of those nice big trucks passing in this one.
