When I think of cities I think of parking meters so I decided to record one! I walked by a person putting a coin in a meter and I asked them if I could record the sound of it. 

I recorded this sound on Wednesday at around three in the afternoon in downtown Winston Salem. 

Parking Meter

I was walking around downtown and decided to get a smoothie at Tropical Smoothie. The blenders were really loud and I decided to record the sound because I do think of blenders a lot when I think of cities. They are in a lot of stores like Starbucks, cafes, and Tropical Smoothie, so I associate the sound with cities. 

I recorded this on Wednesday afternoon at around three in the afternoon in downtown Winston Salem. 

Blender at Tropical Smoothie

In almost every city, there are metal stairs that make a lot of noise. When people walk on these stairs they make really loud sounds and I think of these sounds whenever I think of a city. 

I recorded this sound on Wednesday at three in the afternoon in downtown Winston Salem. 

Metal Stairs

As I was walking around the city, I was listening to the doors opening and closing at Camino's. I decided to record the sound because every city has noisy doors and is a major part of a city.

Opening Doors

Cities are filled with loud opening and closing doors so I decided to record a door at Camino's.
