Episode Details

Dear Play Listers,

Close your eyes and listen.

Can you hear that?

That’s lawnmowers and kids giggling while splashing water. There’s construction somewhere — everywhere — and people making deals at a garage sale.

These are the sounds of summer as collected by sound artist Clockwork Janz, who goes around the city recording everyday sounds like a music treasure hunter.

You can hear them all here and then find your own with the help of a little scavenger hunt sheet we made for you. 

Clockwork said taking a moment to listen can slow your heart and reduce stress. 

Why don’t you give it a try?
