What I Hear: Underground in Brooklyn (The A Train)

The sound of the wind rushes against the train in background with an uneven rumbling sound. A bag rustles and the guy next to me adjusts his newspaper as it makes a crackling sound. I can hear the faint chatter of a side conversation through the sound of people shouting and speaking loudly, yet they are within one foot distance of each other. The dun-dun-dun rumbling of metal increases as the train slows down. Suddenly I hear the grainy voice of the train conductor announcing the name of the stop and the trains of transfer available. The high frequency beep-bop means the train doors are closing. The A train lets off steam - chhhhhh -and then begins to build up speed. A faint yet, deep laughter arises followed by successive low and high pitch giggles and laughter sound through the train. I hear the high-pitched voice of child speaking in Spanish. A woman preaching about Christianity shouts, "and if you strayed away. He still loves you...come back to Jesus." Then a man begins with his raspy voice speaks to everyone, yet no one about his 7 daughters and how he will turn 61 in December. The train continues to speed against the current of the air and streaks against the metal. I hear a sound of falling. Hands and feet hit and thump the ground. Next, the sound of a seesaw or broken playground swings travels into my ears. It almost similar to a whistle sound going back and forth. Children continue to laugh and giggle as the train slows down and so does sound. The chinging sound of the train gets smoother and there's faint speaking in the background and the buzzing of the light-like sound.
