I have always though that I am pretty observant of my surrounding environment, but this exercise definitely forced me to listen harder than normal. Here is what I heard:
Shuffling of feet
Flip-flops flopping
Doors squeaking
Doors slamming shut
Echo in the stairway
Muffled sounds of traffic
Hum of air conditioning
Construction trucks backing up -beep, beep, beep
Squeaking breaks
Cars zipping by
Diesel trucks taking off
Metal pipes dropping/clanging
Pounding/hammering on metal
Squealing tires coming to an abrupt stop
Engines humming
Hydraulics on buses lowering/raising
Crosswalk signal beeping
Buzz saw or something of the sorts
Birds chirping
Music outside Littlefield cafe
Register beeping and closing
Ice falling in someone's cup
"Is this performance art? Yeah it's gotta be."
People talking on cellphones
Outside AC units
Water spraying out of a hose and dripping into a puddle
Some sort of alarm going off at construction site
Keys jangling
Rocks being kicked
Whistle blowing
Staple gun
Motorcycle
