Today I will share with you all a noisy market review. I go to the market once or twice every week to buy all the household items. And I usually go to the market in the morning to shop. And at that time, the city is busy. Everyone is busy with different things. As soon as I go to the market, I hear different kinds of sounds. Especially when I go to the fish market, I hear a lot of noise. When I go to the fish market in the morning, the market is very fresh and busy.

After going to the market, there is no silence in the mind. There are different kinds of sounds, crowds of movement all around. Everyone's mind becomes different in the midst of loud sounds and crowds of movement. If you stand inside the market for two minutes, every sound of the market will be heard very clearly. Which gives a very different feeling. And the first thing that is heard the loudest and most is the loud call of the sellers. Which they do to attract customers. You can always hear from their mouths that there is fresh fish, good fish at low prices.

Even the sound of breaking ice is heard a lot. Which suddenly diverts attention and creates a new rhythm all the time. The sound of removing ice and taking fish is also heard lightly. Also, the sound of a knife cutting fish and even the sound of hitting wood is very familiar. Which is always heard a lot. These sounds are very loud. They often cut fish for customers. There is often a lot of noise while they cut fish. These sounds create a completely different rhythm.

In addition, the sound of splashing water, even the sound of fish splashing, can always be heard. Every now and then they sprinkle water on their fish. Due to which a different sound is created. And most of the living fish splash a lot. That also creates a different sound. Then it is as if these sounds are mixed together. And the lightest sound that can be heard here is the sudden light movement of the scales. There is a sound when the scales are moved from one side to the other, and again when the fish is weighed. This sound is also heard often.

Fish shop

When the seller puts the fish in a plastic bag after the buyers buy the fish, the sound of plastic clinking can be heard. This sound is completely different and can be heard slowly. However, in a crowd, the sounds seem much louder and more frequent. When the big fish are suddenly moved from one side to another, a different sound is created. Especially when the sellers hold the fish, show them to the buyers and put them down, a different sound is created. However, the sounds of the buyers bargaining are heard most. The voices of the buyers and sellers bargaining suddenly come to mind.

Suddenly, the sound of ice being pulled from another shop is heard. The vendors can be heard talking to each other about small amounts of money. Again, different sounds can be heard while walking on the wet floor of the market. All in all, if you are silent for a while, you can understand that the sounds never stop, they just change their form. And finally, it is understood that the real life of the market is all these sounds. Even the main identity of the bazaar is these sounds. These sounds always keep the market alive among everyone. Which is a different kind of thing and feeling.

Thank you for your participation in Geo-Quest Mystery – Week 2: The Sound Map. Here is an evaluation of the post by @narocky71, following the official Week 2 rubric for Geo-Quest Mystery.

Evaluation Summary

CriteriaScoreComments
1. SteemAtlas Pin & Sound Description1.55 / 2.0The SteemAtlas pin is included with coordinates and Google Maps/plus code. The sound description is rich and specific for a fish market: vendor calls, ice breaking, knife cutting, water splashing, fish movement, scales, plastic bag crinkle, wet-floor footsteps. To reach full points, improve the SteemAtlas pin label (it currently reads like the contest title rather than the exact market name) and add a short “listener anchor” line describing where to stand for the clearest sound layers.
2. Creativity of Mission & Hidden Sound Challenge0.60 / 2.0The fish market is an excellent “sound-rich” choice and the text contains many strong sound elements. However, the required Hidden Sound Challenge is not clearly present: there are no three hidden sound clues written as hints for others to guess. Instead, most sounds are openly listed. To score higher, hide three sounds with clue-style metaphors (without naming them) and invite readers to guess them after watching the video.
3. Speem.watch Proof Video (20–60 seconds, focus on sound)1.10 / 2.5A video exists and captures the fish market ambience (YouTube link). However, Week 2 expects a Speem.watch proof video (even if it uses a YouTube source). Since the entry appears to provide the video only via YouTube and not clearly through Speem.watch, full points cannot be awarded. To improve: post the clip via Speem.watch and keep it 20–60 seconds, with a short still moment so sound layers separate clearly.
4. Storytelling Quality2.20 / 2.5Strong storytelling focused on sound: it clearly explains loudest vs smallest sounds and includes repetitive rhythms (calls, ice, cutting, water). The narrative is immersive and fits Week 2 well. For full points, tighten the structure into a clear “one-minute listening” section and reduce a bit of repetition.
5. Engagement (Listening / Guessing others)0.40 / 1.0Engagement exists (you noted two comments on other participations), but it seems general and not clearly focused on guessing three sounds/hidden clues. Partial credit is fair. Full points require commenting on at least two entries and explicitly guessing their sounds/clues.

Final Score: 5.85 / 10

Remarks:
This post has one of the strongest sound descriptions so far fish markets naturally produce very distinctive audio layers, and you captured them well in writing. The main scoring losses are from (1) missing a proper Hidden Sound Challenge (three hidden sound clues) and (2) proof video compliance (ideally via Speem.watch) plus (3) engagement comments needing clearer sound-guessing.

Geo-Quest Mystery Jury

One unique sound I get to hear from your video is the distant sound of buyers and sellers conversing. Just imagine that this place is so quiet, but you're hearing the loudest sound from a far place. This shows some places in a market area calm and you can hear sounds from far places.

  • Conversation sounds

  • Feet on wet ground sounds. You know this sound that comes when you're walking on a wet floor with your slippers or shoes.

  • The cry of a lamb

Brother, you have presented a very beautiful scene of a fish market to us. I liked every picture of the fish you shared. What I liked most about the video is that I got to see many people and the scene of the market. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful post.
