Suburban Station Entering

Wednesday, 4/24/19 at 7:35 AM: Upon entering the station there is music in the background and indistinguishable talking. As I swipe my card in order to pass through the turnstyle, there is a deep-toned, harsh beep that let's me know I am not being granted access. I try again, and experience the same rejecting beep. I try again and receive the same negative beeping. I move to the next turnstyle, which gives a higher pitch beep. I pass through the turnstyle, walk down the steps, and board the train. When I step onto the train, the floor shifts beneath my weight, resulting in a metal smacking. A man pauses to let me pass by him, and I quietly mutter, "Thanks." End clip.
