Open Your Ear
For real, New York City really offers a rich sound environment. However, I want to point out the one that you always can hear in 24 hours and 365 days in years. It definitely is the sound of subway. Wherever you go and stay, you can hear the sound of subway running. The sound of the subway seems like a rock band that playing the heavy metal music. It sounds so noisy with a drum, electric guitars, and a bass, peak voice to sing out. The texture of that sound can be so hard, no rhyme, and ever annoying. It seems like a hard ground that not a smooth for walk. There is no specific neighbor that it belongs to because it is everywhere. However, you can realize the day time or night time by the frequency of its sound even though you stay at home. For me, this sound can be unique for New York City because there is only a city in the world that the subway is running for 24 hours. The subway can be the special image for NYC. On the other hand, the sound of the subway can be parable as the unsleeping city in the world. To sum up, the sound of the subway can be an annoying sound for everyone because it always wakes people up during the lovely sleeping, however, it also can be a good sound for people that make people realizing the beginning of the day, and it might be a beautiful day.
