Payphone sounds
Payphone interactions mix coin drops, button tones, receiver clunks and line signals, some clean and isolated while others sit inside city noise or booth reverb. A few titles hide environmental ambiences such as train-station waiting rooms and open-street backgrounds. Most clips last only a few seconds so they function as precise one-shot cues rather than continuous beds.
