The Museum of Forgotten Sounds

In a quiet street near the old train station, there is a small museum that few tourists visit.

It is called the Museum of Forgotten Sounds, and it collects the noises of daily life that have slowly disappeared.

When you walk in, you do not see paintings or ancient pots.

Instead, you hear the click of a typewriter, the ring of a public telephone, and the whistle of a milkman.

The founder, an elderly woman named Mrs.

Chen, started the collection thirty years ago.

She was worried that her grandchildren would never know these sounds, so she began recording them on old tapes.

Today, visitors can sit in a small room and listen to a whole street from 1975.

Children often laugh at first, but then they become curious and ask questions.

Mrs.

Chen believes that a city's memory is not only in buildings and books.

It also lives in the sounds people hear every day, and those sounds deserve to be kept safe.
