Smichov is full of cars all the time. There are two big arteries of traffic with thousands cars just passing through. Smichov is literally enclosed by cars and traffic noise. When I use to go to the Smichov’s riverside, close to the Railway Bridge, I have to pass one of the traffic corridors. There is a small “natural” beach just next to the road. I’ve recorded chirping of small cricket, compeeting in the bushes with the sound of cars passing by, just one meter from there.
