'Sounds of Shanghai' is a project we began in order to bring Shanghai to the world. Where natives of Shanghai as well as visitors can hear the typical sounds of life in and around different locations of the largest city in China. Each recording featured here is what we think recreates the feeling, object, and experience of each location. The recordings are recorded on professional equipment and are best when listened to on headphones.

No effects or additional editing are applied to the sound bites.
