  • Mexico City is noisy! Today I talk about the classic and iconic street sounds of Mexico City. And, especially for foreigners when they come here, the noises are very confusing. You don't know what they mean. You'll be cosy in bed, and on the street outside, you'll hear so many different sounds!

    It took 2 1/2 years to finally figure out what that noise was in Mexico City. The guy came by a few times a day--it was for sweet potatoes and we were several floors up and couldn't figure out what he was selling. Thanks!

    4:11 on my visitó to México City, I was ru ing late to my meeting (2014) so I bougt 1 tamales and 1 atole. 19 pesos total. Gave me enough energy for the better part of the day. The treat was delicious, worth metioning. My next meal was 280 pesos for a regular dish at Sanborns.

    Some years ago the postman also used a whistle to warn that he was bringing letters to your home. Also the seller of paletas, nieves and ice creams announced with some bells. The bread seller used a small corneta to tell that he was bringing the bread. The helium balloon vendor brought a whistle with a very curious sound.

    Wonderful video - fun, respectful and informative! I am going to have to watch this a few times to memorize the sounds before my next visit. The one I will never forget is the sweet potato/ camote. The sound that symbolized CCMX for me that you did not mention - honking horns. After a week in Juarez I could hear car horns in my dreams. Oh, and doesn't the "running man" walk traffic sign also make noise? BTW, I thought the movie Roma did a great job of capturing some of the sounds in the background.
