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

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

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

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 4/17/2012 3:20:49 PM

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. 4/17/2012 6:17:16 PM
