This audio recording is titled "Bilateral Traffic Counting Tube". As suggested by the title, the audio captures the sounds of a bilateral traffic counting tube in operation, a device used for surveying and monitoring traffic flow on highways and in urban areas. The audio begins with the soft but distinguishable hum of city life in the background. This slowly gives way to the distinct sounds of automobiles passing by. The whooshing noise of cars speeding over the traffic counting tube on a city highway forms the main component of this audio. Each passing car creates a unique sound as the tube momentarily deflates under the weight and then reinflates, meticulously counting each vehicle that passes over it. The varying intensity of the sounds, ranging from the soft whisper of smaller cars to the heavier rumble of large vehicles, creates a rhythmic pattern that is both systematic and unpredictable. It is a field recording that captures the essence of urban life and the never-ending flow
