Take 1. Compare the sound in one and the same location. One recording is from May 2019 and the other from May 2020. One recording is without covid19. The other is during covid19.

How I did compare;
On May 13, 2019 I made an audio recording from thirteen minutes past seven in the evening.
On May 4, 2020, I made a sound recording at the same time of the evening.
I put these two tracks together exactly in time in Audacity.
I adjusted the sound level of each track to the sparks that the electric trains make when they pass from one energy network to another. That is precisely in front of the microphone.
Then I looked where the quietest parts of both sound recordings coincided. I used these three minutes for the comparison.
In this audio file you hear the sound change every fifteen seconds.
The audio file starts with the corona-free part in 2019.

Both original audio files can be found below.
