Besides music, what sounds of the modern world would you choose to be preserved on a golden record in case of an apocalypse?

Question

If the apocalypse happened this year, where 99.99% of the population were killed, and all modern technology was lost, what sounds of the modern world would you like to be preserved onto an analog golden record for future generations to listen to. No music though because then this will just be a list of nothing but music. There'd be no need to include spoken instructions on how to build certain technologies or anything because that could all be preserved in writing.

Update:

PS. I'm not asking questions about the apocalypse because of the coronavirus, I've always found apocalyptic scenarios fun to think about.

Figuratively · Answer

The sound of someone scratching a fork on a chalk board for a couple minutes. If technology was restored after the apocalypse (assuming it was a good 200 years after the start of the apocalypse) people would probably assume that this was some language or code. Our generation would be recognized as something other than idiots who thought buying a lifetime supply of toilet-paper and hand sanitizer would help with a virus that affected the lungs. Instead we would be remembered as a generation of truly great technical advancement or whatever the 0.001% of the population passed on as a story. After all, people will believe anything they are told of it comes from someone with too much power and influence ex. Government, NASA, and any Global News channels. That is a fact that will not change no matter the generation if any form of power is given to a singular person or even a small group of people. So why not make ourselves and our idiotic brethren look good in history
