Sound Walk

The subway is always full of interesting sounds.  From the child crying in their stroller, to the man playing his guitar in front of a cup of change, the underground tunnels are definitely unique.  And when you finally find yourself lulled by the commotion of people talking on their cell phones or listening to music, the calm is broken by the rumbling of the train and the clanking of the wheels.  The automated voice announces its arrival as the doors open and the tunnel is once again filled with voices and people.  As the train leaves the station, the hiss of the brakes echoes across the tile walls as the train begins to move.  And once again, the station is silent as the distant cars from the street above continue to drive past.
