We live in a video-dominated society. Nowadays, many of us would only listen to sounds and music in the context of watching a video, or attending a live performance.

But sometimes, sounds with no videos are a better way to capture emotions and atmospheres.
Today I discovered Soundcloud which is a sort of Youtube for music and sounds only. Then I pulled out for you some sounds I like: genuine, real-world sounds, mostly from Italy.
