    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!

    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.

    Excelente documento visual!!! Faltó el señor de las empanadas y su toque de un triángulo metálico con otro tubo de metal; también falto el grito del señor que vende Merengues; y el que vendía productos para peinarse, gritaba "la crema la brillantinaaaa!!!" que eran fijadores y brillo para el peinado que ya nadie utiliza, ahora sólo se usa el Gel y demás Mugres químicas ....

    "El wey de los camotes" was the best part.
    Rather a poblano sound, but definitely worthy and unforgettable is "El gas!" record. Such a great memories it evokes.
