bringthenoise

In France's ordering this is number 409 of 710, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

bringthenoise broadcasts in English from France. That is a minority language on the national dial, where French leads, but not a small one: 88 stations in France in the directory carry English, which is a substantial second listing inside the first.

The shelf for the language holds 5,984 stations, led by United States. A station like this one broadcasting from France is what stops that shelf from being a second copy of one country's hub.

At 192 kbps the stream is on the better side of France's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

bringthenoise publishes at bringthenoi.se. The domain's country code is not the country the directory files the station under, which happens often enough with hosted stations and diaspora broadcasters to be unremarkable, and is still a difference this page will point out rather than hide.
