- trentearl 4y agoExactly what I thought of, I always thought it would be a good addition to Mexican rap song.
- lobo_tuerto 4y agoMaybe something like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yitoITlNcKs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yitoITlNcKs
- hellohowareu 4y agoThe shouts of vendors in the street is why I avoid cities in Mexico, especially CDMX. The noise levels in Mexico are so abrasive to me.
- elboru 4y agoBig parties late at night in residential areas, vendors shooting while passing by, then dogs barking at them, delivery men in noisy motorcycles, then dogs barking at them again. I guess that’s why gated communities are trending in many Mexican cities now days.
- jolmg 4y ago> vendors shooting while passing by *shouting > I guess that’s why gated communities are trending in many Mexican cities now days. No, I'm sure the biggest value of a gated community is the added safety. You'd still get the noises you mentioned, except perhaps the street vendors if the gated area is remote or big enough. It's still a residential area with parties, dogs, and delivery motorcycles, after all.
- elboru 4y agoThanks, yes, I meant shouting. I’ve lived in both gated and non-gated. And gated neighborhoods are significantly more quiet.

- Jcampuzano2 4y agoThis is exactly what I was waiting to hear as I was scrolling. It's is the first sound I think of when I think of CDMX now that I've lived there.
- dariusm5 4y agoI lived in CDMX and this sound (among several others) made me resent the city. All the Mexican's I knew didn't mind it and seemed to tune it out. If you like peace and quiet, living in Mexico City is not for you.
- KAMSPioneer 4y agoGlad I'm not the only one! I visited with my girlfriend recently (she lived there a few years ago) and I immediately hated that recording. She seemed somewhere between indifference and endeared. I actually really liked CDMX, but I also resent that sound.
- ngokevin 4y agoLived there for a month. Maybe it wasn't long enough, but that sound makes me nostalgic.
- jmath 4y agofor a major city I’ve found it to be on the quieter end of the spectrum though it does certainly have its moments
- zeppelin101 4y agoThanks for writing it out. I always tried to tune out the words. The sound is grating.
- yayitswei 4y agoIf anyone is like me and wondering what they're referring to (it's linked in the website): https://www.nytimes.com/video/world/americas/100000004701928/a-signature-cry-of-mexico-city.html https://www.nytimes.com/video/world/americas/100000004701928...
- muststopmyths 4y agoHah! Good to finally know why they all (the vendors recordings)sound the same
- dimmke 4y agoThis is so interesting. I was just in CDMX for an entire week. I rented a condo on the fifth floor of a tower. I couldn't hear any noise and I was right on one of the main streets (Insurgantes). I also didn't see an organ grinder once. I had no clue that was even a thing. Though plenty of street-side vendors. CDMX is an amazing city. I kind of want to live there for a bit.
- xtracto 4y agoIn my city, there is a version of that that says I addition something like "if you are embarrassed to come, send your kid to the truck with your junk" . I find that pretty funny.
- dyeje 4y agoI was so confused by this recording I asked a local to explain it to me.
