It depends heavily on the time of day. Midday, you'll get a fair bit of street noise – traffic, chatter – seeping in, especially if you're near the entrances. Evenings are quieter, more atmospheric. Think echoing footsteps, maybe distant conversations. Weekends are generally busier than weekdays, naturally. There’s a kind of hum to the place, a low thrum of the city that’s pretty distinct. It's not overwhelmingly loud, but it's definitely present. A permit might be a good idea, just to be safe, especially if you're setting up any serious equipment. Good luck with your recording!

The food court's pretty vast, so it's tough to pinpoint the absolute best. But if you want to dodge the crowds and get something truly authentic, head to the smaller stalls tucked away – usually on the less trafficked levels. Look for places with mostly local students. They often have daily specials written in Chinese, which is a good sign. Don't be afraid to point and ask – many vendors speak some English, and even if they don't, a little charades goes a long way. You'll probably find some amazing noodle soups or rice dishes that aren't on any tourist menu. Just go with your gut – if the place is busy with students, it's probably good!
