The City At 96 kHz

The din of an old town square, a tree-lined residential street, a plane passing overhead, fog horns at the harbour.

24 bit / 96 kHzRoyalty-freeMetadata included

Sixty-nine files and seven gigabytes. Everything in this library is long.

City ambience only works when it runs uncut under a whole scene, and that is what the numbers here describe: few files, each of them heavy, recorded at twice the usual sample rate. Six settings are named, from a loud square to a quiet garden with a plane going over.

At a Glance

  • 69 files, 69 sounds The same number twice — one sound per file
  • 7.17 GB across 69 files About 104 MB per file — the division is computed here, and it is the signature of long uninterrupted takes
  • 24 bit / 96 kHz Twice the sample rate of a standard 48 kHz library, and half the reason 69 files weigh this much
  • Six settings named Old town square, residential street, plane overhead, harbour fog horns, fountains and traffic — counted off the field
  • Loud and quiet both The field deliberately pairs the din of a square with the quiet of a tree-lined street; a city library with only the loud half is unusable for a conversation
  • Documents complete Data sheet, metadata sheet and the licence all ship with it

02The Six Settingscounted off the description itself▾
Old town squareThe loud din — the busiest thing here, and the one that dates a city as old rather than new
Residential streetTree-lined and quiet; the bed a conversation can actually happen over
Plane overheadA gentle rumble passing above a secret garden, which is how the field describes it — the layer that says the quiet is inside a city
HarbourDistant fog horns, and the only sound here that carries a distance in itself
FountainsTrickling water, the detail that fixes a square as a specific one
TrafficCars stuck rather than moving, which is a different sound from a passing road

The plane over the garden is the most useful recording here. It is the sound that tells an audience the quiet place is surrounded by a city, and there is no way to fake it with a wider shot.
