Description

Exploring the auditory differences between Sydney and Melbourne, this podcast episode delves into the distinct soundscapes of each city. Sydneys soundscape is characterized by the roar of expensive supercars and aggressive crosswalk klaxons, while Melbournes is marked by a more soothing, mechanical click and clack. The episode also highlights the unique communication styles of each citys residents, with Melburnians known for their quiet, quirky conversations on public transport. However, the introduction of Sydneys harsher, electric beeps on Melbournes public transport signals a potential loss of Melbournes distinctive sonic texture, raising concerns about the impact of modernization on the citys character.
