Since this work was recorded at a theme park, it is enveloped in an especially bright atmosphere among urban sound effects.
Another characteristic is that children’s voices make up a considerable portion, so listening when you want to feel bright and lively should deliver the desired effect.
Busy Street Sound Effect

This work has a quite clear sound quality.
The recording is so detailed that you can distinctly tell apart people’s voices, which makes it less suitable as ambient sound to enjoy as a single category of “people around you.” It can be described as a distinctive piece whose characteristics may divide opinions.
