The audio begins with the distant sound of a train's whistle, a classic, haunting sound that conjures up images of long journeys and far-off destinations. It's a clear day on June 27, 2020, and the anticipation builds as the train's approach becomes increasingly evident. The whistle blows again, louder this time, asserting its presence. The sound effects or 'sfx' and 'foley' techniques used here provide a realistic portrayal of the scene. Soon, the rumbling of the train on the tracks enters the soundscape. It's a rhythmic, metallic clatter that's unmistakably associated with the rails. The sound grows progressively louder, creating a sense of an impending arrival. The listener is transported to the very edge of the railway platform, awaiting the arrival of this mechanical beast. As the train nears, the subtle sounds of its machinery join the symphony - an undercurrent of hisses and clanks that speak of the train's complex inner workings.
