City walk through train station, street and mall in Paris, France (binaural, please use headset for 3D effects).
Here’s a binaural recording of a walk from Aubert train station to Saint-Lazare mall, in Paris, France.
First, I am in the train while it’s slowing down. At #0:45, the train stops, doors open, and I exit.
Then, I walk through the wide underground train station. One can hear people walking and talking, escalators, an announcement (at #4:42) about the Metro line 6 which will not work on Sunday January 26th.
At about #6:12, I exit in the street and turn right. One can hear traffic (cars, motorcycles) on the left, people walking and chatting on the sidewalk, and outdoor speakers from a mall broadcasting music on the right. It’s quite windy and one can hear some gusts at times. Then, I continue to walk. At about #11:00, one can hear the siren of a rescue vehicle approaching, and it will pass by at about #11:45.
I continue my way in the street, and arrive at the entrance of a mall at about #14:10.
While I go through this mall (located in Saint-Lazare train station) one can hear people walking and chatting, as well as someone playing piano.
Recorded in January 2025 with an Olympus LS-P4 and Micbooster Clippy Stereo EM272 microphones (Primo em272) clipped on glasses.
Fade in/out and high pass filter at 30Hz -6dB/oct applied in Audacity.
(If you want to use this sound as a mono audio file, you may have to delete one channel to avoid phase issues).

To tell you all the story, these aren’t the same mics as before, as the cable of the previously used Ohrwurm 3D binaural mics is broken, and sadly, I can’t repair it up to now.
So, I’m using the Micbooster Clippie EM272 microphones now, clipped on glasses, and the result seems quite convincing too ! ;-)

I’ve clipped them on my glasses, as close as possible to my ears to achieve binaural effect.

Great! I particularly liked the rhythmical escalator at 1:20 and the ear-splitting screech at 9:54.

Thanks for the walk. As I said before, I really like the space these microphones create. It is very holistic, lively and undistorted, in my opinion. Hearing doesn't get tired at all.
