Heavy traffic in Manila.
I made this recording from a footbridge, over EDSA (in Manila, Philippines).
One can hear lots of vehicles passing by in the humid street, like cars, motorcycles, trucks and jeepneys, as well as horns, and voices of the men calling passengers to ride in their jeepneys.
Recorded in August 2025 with a Zoom H5studio (built-in XY microphones).
Fade in/out applied in Audacity.

Yes, the H5Studio is a great tool, and as it features voice guidance, it's really wonderful for blind people ! ;-)

Yes! For some reason, I didn't think about small vehicles.)))

@newlocknew : Thank you very much for your feedback and rating !
In south-east Asia, there are a lot of motorbikes between other bigger vehicles, and the drivers are usually very ‘’talkative’’, honking to warn and inform other people about what they are doing. If you drive there, you have to keep aware about that, because almost everything might happen everywhere around you ! ;-)

What an abundance of horn signals. In Russia, in large cities, traffic is quite dense and large traffic jams are common, but drivers are becoming more silent. Interesting sound recording.*****
