Recordist's notes
This is the only gas station that can be found in the San Miguel neighborhood, it is an open and comfortable space for the movement of cars. This gas station is located right on Highway 30, therefore, the fundamental sound found is loud traffic, on this highway all kinds of vehicles pass, especially those with heavy loads. The most recognizable sound signals of the place are the passage of ambulances, the passage of motorcycles and other vehicles. A lot of people gather in this space because there is a bus stop, but they cannot be heard because the sound emanating from the cars is louder. As a sound signal we find the noise that the pavement makes when it shakes when quite heavy vehicles pass, and also the sound of the metal covers of the aqueduct and the pipes that are under the gas station.
