Step foot onto the streets of Manchester and you will be hit with a cacophony of sounds you would expect to hear in any modern city.
From its transport infrastructure to shoppers and venues, each element makes up part of Manchester's unique fingerprint. But there are some sounds that when you hear them, you just know you're in Manchester.
It's in our culture, the way we speak, and definitely the characters who call the city home. Some of these sounds can, of course, infuriate us at times.

A professor of acoustic engineering at Salford University, Professor Trevor Cox, told the M.E.N that it's because of the fins at the top of the building. It's akin to blowing across the top of a bottle (remember when you used to do that as a kid?) and getting a sound.
