If you want to show the presence of humans doing what we do best - eating - then check out new room tones of British pubs and cafes.
For ambiences that scare instead of soothe, check out the second and third installment in the 'Ghostly Presences' series.
And finally, for something completely different, we have sounds of a Vespa scooter and baby robins as they beg their parents for some tasty worms. Happy listening!
