Depends on where you are and what time of day, but overall there is nothing you wouldn't hear in another city of a similar size, enviornment and wealth

It's the sound of a million acorns falling.

4/17/2012 2:44:59 PM

only about once a year with those acorns

Krallum, what would you hear in a similar city?
you failed to answer the question

that is a bad answer

we don't have any historical architecture or new technology that makes any unique sound loud enough to be noticed over the typical buzz of eveyday city life. Maybe if the bell tower was some 17th century monastery

the train horns blasting off downtown while you're at an out-door concert.

we've got our electricity

the mains hum is a 60 Hz tone
almost exactly halfway between A? (58.24 Hz) and B (61.68 Hz) two octaves below Middle C

and like any city there's the drone of traffic in most places

I dont go to outdoor concerts in durham, I'm not poor

therefore train horns blaring during an outdoor concert is specific to raleigh in my experience

4/17/2012 2:56:27 PM

not specific to raleigh. implying raleigh is less ghetto than durham LOL

no but they create the soundscape

4/17/2012 2:57:55 PM

so what you want to know is what soundscape does raleigh have? NOT what sounds are specific to raleigh? because there aren't any

or just in general.

sometimes the sound of the bells on rickshaws makes me think of raleigh, but of course you find that sound elsewhere too

If you live at Wood or AFC, the sounds of the WRAL chopper going up before 6 am to do the traffic.

4/17/2012 3:32:05 PM

Or leaf blowers at 7am

4/17/2012 3:53:58 PM

damn you roflpack

4/17/2012 3:54:50 PM

the sound of me yelling "GODDAMNIT YOU PEOPLE ARE FUCKING RETARDS" every time it rains, some jackass flips his/her car, and causes a shitstorm of traffic on the roads.

this.

and right now just a lot of birds chirping and shit. lots of bees on the flowers too. since Raleigh is pretty much nestled in a forest there's lots of animals running around. the belltower goes off hourly. that's all I got.
