Slussen is a noisy hub where commuters hop on or off buses, subway trains or the Saltsjöbanan railway. Let's enjoy the sound of an arriving train from Saltsjöbaden.

the sound of kebab

No, we're not at the dentist. This is the sound of Döner Kebab meat being professionally sliced while rotated.

"...söta fina jordgubbar... varsågod chefen..."

Now let's stop by the fruit and vegetables market at Hötorget ("the Haymarket"). Ready to become bombarded by business offers? OK, here we go, just listen.

the sound of fountain (2)

...previously on waves

Out of these nozzles can come either a small gust of water, barely viewable during daytime.

Or a mighty pillar of water (yes, even during wintertime)

But like this is most enjoyable. High enough to be seen and yet not splashy enough to make you all wet while looking at them. All the different noises come from the opening and closing of the lids and the splashing water.

bus trip to jarlaplan

feedback@stockholmbywaves.com (stromsjo) — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 17:26:00 +0000

It's about time we try riding a bus. At the moment of writing the Stockholm city buses are in fact grounded (is that the term?) due to a strike but never mind. Here now a clip from a recent trip to Jarlaplan. Do you recognize the noise?

You might recognize these, but probably not. These are the nozzles from where the fountain at Stockholm International Fairs blows water and steam. In the soundclip you can hear the hizzing sounds of air and steam along with the slamming of the lids. They are actually composed and if you spend a while there you will get to hear the different sounds they make. This is just a short sample.

The fountain generally has a low program going and during day you could easily miss it completely. It's during dark evenings it comes alive, with the lights changing all the time and the looks of the fountain changing also. On special occasions, as the opening of bigger fairs like the annual boat show "Allt för sjön", there's a gala-program and the last pic is from one of those magic evenings.

This is something to really look out for and gets me going everytime. I have spent hours there and I guess I'm going to visit a few more times... More pics of the fountain here...

listen hear

Sound clips from Stockholm don't exactly grow on trees, at least not in any convenient format for the occasional one-minute-tourist, so I was pleased to find the listen hear sound projects - audio diary with a couple of episodes from Stockholm. Take a moment to enjoy a boat trip with M/S Carl Philip and some noisy, local seagulls!
