I used this a lot in my audiobook, Whisperer of Anon

I return yet again, having used this sound at low volume to create the sense of a strange and exotic locale during the early hours before dawn. It really helped pull the soundscape together. Thanks yet again for recording!

Here is how it got used this time:

And yet again with the marketplace sound. I spiced it up with some added music, but the basic sound clip is still a wonderful recording. Thanks yet again!
