I've always thought railway journeys would be a nice subject for a podcast, in the vein of an audio equivalent of the slow TV genre. Some ponderous commentary about the carriage and passing scenery, with the soothing train track sounds in the background. Would be great to fall to sleep to.
- prawn 4y agoThe other month I was on a 3-4 day train trip from Brisbane to Adelaide. I wouldn't describe the track sounds as soothing - struggled to sleep the first night, and wasn't much better the next. It's not overly quiet and you get jolted around a fair bit when travelling at speed. Maybe if the extreme parts of the soundscape were moderated a bit though. The other night my wife was using a soundscape to get to sleep - ocean noises and a creaking hull of a timber ship. The ocean noises were fine, but the periodic cracking timber had me wide-eyed and annoyed until I figured she was asleep and turned it off. Sounded like someone's bones being broken.
