Advantages of such hawkers' wails:
- You can know the approximate time, if you are regular
- You can guess the state, language and availability of vendor's wares
- you can entertain yourself guessing what the item being sold is and venture out to verify if it is correct
- Learn how the vendors are automating their work by playing recorded sales pitch
- One lady even earned a PhD on this topic!
- Appreciate how service at your doorstep eases your life

Have you paid any attention to the high pitched calls of street vendors in your area? We see people selling vegetables, green leaves, Rangoli powder (Moggu) etc. Then there are house to house garbage collectors, old clothes exchangers, mobile vans vending Saibaba's grace / blessings too. Each one has a distinctly unique wail. Some could be sweet and enjoyable, as the one seen in the audio clip given below. Some could be so harsh, deafening and jarring that in cities like Bengaluru, street vendors are prohibited from using the megaphone. There was an old man in our colony suffering from Alzheimer' Disease; he made frequent complaints to the police about street vendors' offensive / disturbing noise. I have even gone out of the house to find out what one is selling so that I won't miss him, as at times their wails may not make sense.Street vendor selling watermelon in the city of Savannah Georgia, USA in 1939Do you like hawkers' howling? Senior citizens are less tolerant. Hence my question.===Dr P Vyasamoorthy / 9490804278
