About the sound
Sound of several vehicles driving partly on asphalt and partly on the cobblestone road just outside the Technical Museum of Slovenia. This road connects Vrhnika and Borovnica and one section is covered with cobblestones. On the recordings there are different types of vehicles (cars, vans, lorries)), some of them are just driving by, some are stopping to let through the vehicles from the other side and then driving off. In the background is the sound of birds.
