The audio begins as a soft hum of a metro train in the background gradually becomes more distinct, indicating that you are aboard the Berlin Metro, or the U-Bahn as it's known in German. The muffled chatter of passengers and the occasional rustle of a newspaper create a bustling, yet oddly comforting soundscape. Suddenly, a clear, crisp signal-sound breaks through the cacophony of the metro. This is an SOS signal - a safety measure in place for emergencies. The echo of the signal is distinct and sharp, standing out from the usual sounds of the metro, capturing everyone's attention instantly. Following the signal, a soothing, automated voice from the information-bar starts to provide crucial information about the SOS station. The voice, calm and collected, instructs passengers in English, ensuring that even international travelers are well-informed. Amid the information, the sound of a train pulling into the platform can be heard, its brakes hissing as it slows to a halt
