The sound you hear is the scrunch of the plastic mugs the runners dropped on the street. The sound was very hypnotizing after a while. You also hear a group of the one million spectators celebrating the runners with their drums.
The sound does not turn out very clear since I had to use my little Pentax Optio S to record it. It may give you an impression of the mood though.
After all, the marathon was a big party for the spectators as well as the wheelchair athletes, skaters, handbikers, power walker and runners who participated the marathon weekend in Berlin.
Another panorama of the Berlin-Marathon 2006 was made by Michael Stoss at kilometer 33.
