traffic light bleeps, car horning, metal cutting, coughing, man spitting,
radio tuning, soup slurping,
dog barking, traffic light beeping, fish flipping,
bicycle bell ringing,
hairdryer blowing, cutlery clinking,
coughing, car horning, trolley rolling, mobile phone ringing,
cash register cha-ching, coins falling, ventilator whirring,
machine working, door slides, American pop song,
food fries, coughing, motorbike passing…
