Sound Walk

     Walking around the streets of the Upper East Side of Manhattan I heard very common keynotes, not unique to that particular area of the city but of cities during that time. It was lunch time, around 12:30.  The sounds that stuck out were of traffic. I could hear engines starting up and stopping because of the inconsistent traffic flow. They were loud robust and unpleasant when I was listening out for them but on an average day they are still happening, my mind is just elsewhere. Horns were honking almost constantly in sparatic patterns. Some long some short and in pairs or trios. This was probably indicative of the time period as the sound of loud truck engines and speeding cars dominated because it was delivery hour. Also indicative of that time "Lunch Time begins". When I listened closer I could here bicycle wheels spinning and lots of paper and plastic bags rubbing against each other in the wind. That time was also "Dog Walking time". The dogs were all peaceful as I heard no barking what-so-ever but i heard lots of leashes clacking together as the dogs were being walked in groups (probably due to the fact that neighborhood is one where residents would not be home and hire dog walkers).  In this particular area there were no Sound Signals nor Sound Marks that I was aware of , just a lot of familiar keynotes during this sound-walk.
