The squeaky floors of the Louvre

Arguably the most famous museum in the world, the Louvre is said to be visited by 9 million people annually. In a long, narrow section of the Denon Wing the wooden floor panels creak and squeak as people walk over them, and with 9 million visitors per year this makes for an interesting soundscape.
