Never had I ever imagined a city that never sleeps could go quite like in past few months. When New York shut down in response to pandemic, New York’s busy sidewalks, subway rides, constant construction, cab honking, noise of children in parks, all these soundscapes   are what we New Yorkers achingly missed. I had never realized that it has become a part of our life and I think I don’t like missing that part. I felt like I was living in a countryside. That instant change in soundscape was not joyful at all. “Missing sound of New York “album released by The New York Public Library is helpful in coping with this distress. New York has its own sound that everybody misses even those who are here for the short trip. All thanks to the pandemic, now we have realized those sound only belongs to New York. It could definitely make some people sad about the noise like before, but I think most people are looking forward for resuming completely all those soundscapes.
