      The sounds of San Antonio during the fall are kids playing at a local pumpkin patch. What does the fall sound like to you?  | Photo by SATXtoday team
      The weather is somewhat cooling down, more events are happening each week, coffee shops are releasing new drink menus, it all means one thing — fall is here.

      Crinkling leaves and pumpkin-everything are staples of the time, but we’re hear to find out what San Antonio sounds like during the season: from you.

      Think kids going trick-or-treating, attending a Spurs game, grabbing a cold one with friends at an Oktoberfest event, the drum line during a football game, or anything that fills you with joy, nostalgia, and excitement around the autumn time.

      We’ll go first. City Editor Nicholas correlates fall with the sounds of belly aching laughter at a corn maze.

      City Editor Adriana knows it’s fall when she can hear the Clark HS band practicing.

      From the editor
      KT Tunstall’s “Suddenly I See” sounds like fall to me. I also have to share that it’s from my partner and I’s favorite movie — “The Devil Wears Prada.” This is your sign to rewatch it.

      That’s all.
