Orpington, Greater London, England, United Kingdom

Recorded from a Quansheng UV-K5 while driving down a high street in South London, the radio was tuned to 445.05 MHz, a common harmonic of electronics where spurious emissions from peoples TVs, monitors, computers, etc can be heard, the fading and doppler shift from the moving car add a creepy vibe.

This is basically the sound of the city that no one hears, it's the electromagnetic emissions of everything that makes modern life move.
