Houston/Lyon car horn sample?

Watching some old LGR videos, I stumbled upon one about a bizarre game called "Ninja Nanny". In the game (and as seen in the YT video), there is an in-game video of stock footage with car horn sounds in the background:

But as soon as I heard that bit, I thought: "...isn't that from the Houston/Lyon live album?" (in the "Cities in Concert" version, it's in the end of Souvenir of China - the part with "the most amazing sight ever viewed by the human eye!" ;)).

The samples aren't completely identical (perhaps weirdly spliced between versions) except for the bit included as attachments, which comes very close ... to my ears, at any rate.

So I guess the car horns in the album might be stock sounds instead of something recorded during the night of the Houston concert, because I think in the VHS the "most amazing sight ever viewed" part is in a different "non-road" scene with no car horns in the background IIRC (if I really really remember correctly, it was just some random guy on the street instead of someone directly commenting on the concert?)

Interesting, it might be a stock sound effect. Have you asked the youtuber if he used a stock sample?

I think the sample is in the in-game video from the original software, might have to check archive.org at some point if they've got a copy
