A coworker recently turned Pawn onto You Are Listening To…, a website which mashes up ambient music and police scanners. Focusing on five cities, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Montreal, the site features a simple photograph of the city you chose, along with the aural pastiche appropriate to those climes. Check it out, a shockingly soothing audio backdrop for the workplace.
You are listening to Los Angeles
As an interesting experiment,just go looking for some sounds you think might go well together. I just loaded up the “Ambient” tag at Sound Cloud in one browser window, and the Kennedy Space Center live audio feed in another.
