A real time recording of flight departure announcements in the international departures lounge of Heathrow Airport.
To cut out background noise the recording was made directly from the control room by arrangement with the British Airports Authority. It is a clean recording of international departure lounge announcements at Heathrow Airport. The recording was made in a control room so there are no atmospheric sounds, only the announcements themselves, one every few minutes. |
Gate 23 has been featured on arts radio broadcasts worldwide and has also been heard in clubs, shops and other public spaces.. |
