Product Description
This library presents diverse means of rail transport in Italy. I recorded it in 2020, but some trains were decades old. In these you’ll find warm sounds of old electric motors, as well as creaking, rattling, squeaking and rumbling of their weathered bodies.
In some files you’ll hear some conversations of various intensity, as well as announcements in Italian and English, in foreground or background. Some of them are about covid restrictions, masks etc., but usually just station names.
In addition to 53 files with onboard sounds you get 11 files with ambiences from stations – indoor and outdoor, busy and desolate, with or without PA announcements.
