- The sounds which were inaudible in the recording were the really faint/ far ones i.e. the pen sliding against the paper and some faint cheering from the neighbors.
- New Sounds: The nature of the sounds I just heard wasn’t that exceptional, so I guess I can’t consider it new sound. However, back home, I wouldn’t have heard birds continuously chirping, and I wouldn’t have heard the neighbors’ lunch plates clattering because buildings in Amman are further apart from buildings in Beirut. Perhaps in my parents childhood, they didn’t hear much car brakes or motorcycles.
- Old Sounds: living in a new city, I no longer hear the sound of the cotton candy man’s whistle as he rolls down my street, or the cheaply remade Beethoven symphony being transmitted by the gas cylinder truck.
- 2 minutes of the recording with most sound: 04:10 – 06:10
