Pizza Store Doorbell

One nice thing about digital voice recorders like mine is that they look like cellphones.

So no one thinks weird of me when I'm on my way out the door at the local Papa Murphy's and I whip out such a device and push a button on it.

The talking in the background is over the radio in the store.

That doorbell note is an appetizing E5.

Grocery Store Checkout Sounds

I surreptitiously captured a bit of my checkout experience recently at the local County Market, a regional chain of grocery stores.

Unidentified store music hovers in the background while the sound of my groceries being handled mixes with the beeps of the register.

The beeps are D#5 exactly. The store music is in F.
