CurfewNetherlands 210123_0215.ogg

Curfew city, 1st night 8-11pm. Curfew start 9pm.MORE IN THIS PACK.
This is the first day in the Netherlands that we not only have a corona lockdown, but now also with a curfew from 9 in the evening. The lockdown started in December.

General info;
To find out what the effect is on the environment, I have my microphones on my high balcony from eight o'clock. The recording will run through to 11 pm.
You may not only hear it getting quieter but also see it in the diagram.
This curfew will mean that everyone must stay inside between 9pm and 04:30am. The aim of the curfew is to slow the infection rate by preventing people from visiting each other and gathering in groups. While the curfew is in force people will not be allowed outside without a valid reason.

Today;
Between eight and nine there was still some traffic rushing through the streets. After nine o'clock it got quieter. However, it started to rain harder and harder during the recording. Towards the end it was snowing too, but of course you won't hear that.

In the coming days I will make several recordings and post them in this folder on Freesound.
