Foreground: 

A child is talking to the parent. The sound of a rubbing plastic bag can be heard (perhaps someone opened a plastic package?). Multiple conversations are ongoing from both the left and right sides. Laughter from different individuals come from various directions. Another child is laughing and screaming. Alongside the parent, they are stomping their feet heavily on the ground. At the same time, the multiple conversations among the people around me continue...

Mid-gound: 

A few birds are twittering in different ways and at varied pitches. However, they never do this simultaneously, as if they are also listening to each other. The church bell rang once (perhaps to signal the half-hour?). Occasionally, the sound of squealing brakes can be heard coming from the street.

Background:

A constant, extremely low-pitched humming persists throughout the entire time.It is present but difficult to describe accurately. It could be a blend of acoustic elements of this city – car engines, public traffics, electricities, the bustling crowds, and the underlying vibrations of the city.
