Are you missing the sound of someplace? Revisit. The thumbnail says Guatemala City but you can stream radio from almost anyplace. "Radio Garden works by crawling the web for radio streams coming from every possible location on Earth. With this data, Studio Puckey overlaid each station with its corresponding geographic location. ... Every location provides its own distinct, sometimes surprising sound."

This is one of the things I loved about Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. His soundtrack uses actual SoCal radio DJ and advertisement interstitials in between the late ‘60s songs they play. I wasn’t alive yet, but it’s such a cool and specifically detailed way to transport the viewer/listener to that era.
 
In my hometown, you could hear the stream whistle at the pickle plant blow, no matter where you were. There was the "five till" whistle that blew five minutes before shift changes, noon, and 1 pm, and then again at shift changes, noon, and 1 pm. When I was working at the pickle plant during summers, I lived at home and from my home to the pickle plant was a four and one half minute walk. So, if I left my parents' home at the "five till" whistle, then I could be standing in front of the time card machine, ready to "clock in" when the 1 pm whistle blew. It was a nice summer job and I enjoyed eating my Mother's lunches, but I found out during those summers that did not want to live my life to the tune blown by a steam whistle.

I'm a big fan of radio garden. Sometimes I will just scroll.

Currently listening to: Listen to Soma FM Groove Salad from San Francisco CA live on Radio Garden
 
When I was getting my Library Science master's degree, we were each tasked with finding one useful website for maps/graphs/etc. I picked Radio Garden - which the professor was unfamiliar with, but fell in love with instantly. For that program, I always tried to find the most unconventional way of approaching assignments, which did me well.
 
When teaching Modern Latin American History I have Radio Garden playing on a station from the region as my students are showing up for class.
