Recordings bustling supermarket sound effects in Singapore

I think most of the field recordists out there would agree with me that supermarket ambiance is one of the trickiest sounds to get because it’s impossible to avoid music!

While in Singapore, we went to the largest and one of the most famous shopping centers called “Mustafa”. This four-level store building with 400,000 sq has everything you’re looking for! It is definitely an experience to come here for shopping if you are visiting Singapore. We arrived on a Sunday morning and it wasn’t that crowded by the time but on a regular weekend, you will be one of 15,000 customers!

I did several recordings on different locations and levels inside the shopping center. For the recordings itself, I used my binaural microphones that I can place inside my ears to record the ambience.

What sounds you can expect in this library…

Listen to overall supermarket ambiance with crowd walla, washy walla and general bustle in English and if I am correct in Thamil and Mandarin. There are many cash registers beeping, ventilation and air condition hum, sounds of refrigerators, shopping carts moving around, and lots of handling noise with plastic bags next to the check out counters!
