Escalator sounds

Escalator mechanisms hum, clank and screech while steps move in steady rhythm or grind to a halt, some recordings close and dry, others layered with footsteps, voices or distant traffic. Several capture objects or people interacting with the machinery, including coins, laces, suitcases and running children. Lengths from four seconds to over two minutes mean the clips range from quick mechanical hits to long ambient beds.
