A summer morning in the medieval market town
This medieval market town ambience plays free in your browser and puts you in a busy square on a bright summer morning. Striped awnings shade stalls of fruit and pottery, and a stone fountain splashes a few steps away.
All around you, people talk and haggle, too many and too far away to catch a single word. A horse clip-clops past with a rattling cart. Later a heavy wagon rolls by, wheels creaking and harness jingling, and fades down the street.
At the next stall, a few hens cluck and scratch in their crate, and you smile. A sudden gust catches the awnings, and the canvas snaps loud enough to make you turn. Far above the rooftops, the bell in the tower rings 3 slow strokes. Soon the bustle feels like a warm hum you could listen to all day.
For the square without its crowd, choose Without the crowd. For only the splashing water, choose Fountain only.
What you hear in the medieval market square
- Fountain in the square: A stone fountain splashes steadily into its wide basin in the open square. Plays all the time.
- Market murmur: The whole square murmurs with talk, lively and bright, but too distant for any clear words. Plays all the time.
- Horse and cart on cobbles: A horse pulls a wooden cart over the cobbles, with clopping hooves and rattling iron-rimmed wheels. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Wagon passing on cobbles: A heavy wagon creaks by behind 2 horses, its wheels rattling over the rough cobbles. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Horse walking on cobbles: A single horse is led across the square at a walk, with clear hoofbeats and a jingling bridle. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Hens at a market stall: Hens fuss and cluck in a wooden crate at a stall close by. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Bell tower over the town: A bell in a stone tower tolls slowly 3 times, and each stroke fades over the rooftops. Plays at random moments, about once every 10 minutes.
- Canvas awnings in the wind: Canvas over the stalls flaps and snaps loudly in a gust of wind, then falls quiet. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
