Standing in a busy market (2nd file, binaural, please use headset for 3D effects).
I recorded this audio in the Saturday downtown market, in Nanterre city (suburb of Paris, France).
On this special day, the semi-indoor food market was really noisy, and I thought it would be interesting to record it.
You can hear sellers promoting and selling their products, customers buying, and lot of people talking around me. For this second recording, there was a small coffee-shop just on my left, so you can also hear some customers talking, and the noisy coffee grinder/maker from 2’08’’ to 2’43’’.
Recorded in May 2022 with an Olympus LS-P4 and Ohrwurm 3D binaural microphones.
Fade in/out and high pass filter at 60Hz -6dB/oct applied in Audacity.

As always well described. Good tags. Good high resolution. *****

Free unsolicited advice: Because you use 3D binaural microphones (AB setup), it is good to advise (video) users as follows; When you want to use this sound-recording in MONO -> delete one channel and make the other channel mono. Otherwise, due to phase shift in the sound, the mono sound will sound a bit strange.
