Wide Parisian subway train station atmosphere (binaural, please use headset for 3D effects).
I made this recording while having a seat in the wide subway train station of La Défense (West suburb of Paris, France). At this time (about 11AM), the station was quite calm. On my left, a man having a phone call, and a little further, a small snack shop. On my right, someone listening headphones, and in the background, hum from the station, voices from some passengers, and an escalator squeaking at times.
At about #1:00, two trains arrive almost at the same time. One can hear doors opening, then the buzzer, and the doors closing before the trains leave.
At about #3:00, the station remains calm, but 20 seconds later, an other train arrives and stops, immediately followed by another one. At the same time (#4:01), an announcement is broadcasted, reminding passengers to not use scooters in the station.
Finally, the two trains go, and the station remains calm again at #5:40.
Recorded in September 2023 with an Olympus LS-P4 and Ohrwurm 3D binaural microphones.
Fade in/out and high pass filter at 60Hz -6dB/oct applied in Audacity.
