Also, the check in sound is way more pleasant than in other European cities
The failed checkin sound is probably gonna haunt me in the afterlife.
But yeah, both of them are sort of iconic.
EEHH ERRR.
Saw this a few days ago. Exactly what you describe

Bicycle Rush Hour. Could be recorded around Bryggebroen or somewhere else where there are a lot of bikes and no car traffic.
Ever been to Cisternerne? I don't know if you're allowed to do recordings down there but it's an old and very big underground water tank. It's a museum now. The way the sounds travel down there is a cool experience imo.
If I remember correctly, the echo should be 17 seconds or so.

I went down there on a quiet day and sang and recorded it. Nobody cared. If you have a Zoom recorder or smth I’m sure you’ll be fine with that too.
I think the most interesting sounds is the echo in the bicycle parking mounds on Karen Blixens Plads, which have a very definite cutoff point.
But if you search the subreddit you'll find plenty of "what's that sound" posts (usually fireworks or sirens).

I can second the above suggest really interesting echo and reverb that you can get inside of there
I will also second this. These are pretty cool/weird.
There is an Anish Kapoor exhibition at Arken museum. Some of his pieces have interesting sounds and some can produce nice echoes.
Not sure if they will let you record sound in there, probably depends on how big your gear is.
Rhythmic sounds: march of the guards around Amalienborg slot Flagpoles/string flapping around in the wind (and there are a lot of those in DK) Others: The wind at the top of copenhill (free entry) or in the bunker on Trekroner Island (paid entry). Natural ambience in Dyrehaven away from the busy paths. Or similar but on water if you rent a kayak on Furesø and go into the narrow channels with trees around.
Get too close to a swan and they'll make an angry hissing sound. You could also go to a Lego-store and you can run your hand through a bunch of bricks - that sound is pure childhood nostalgia to me. And the rapid clicking of a free-wheeling bike should be possible to capture anywhere in Copenhagen.
ETA: Lots of playgrounds in Copenhagen will have squeaky trampolines and/or swing sets. Not particularly specific to Copenhagen, though.
8 o clock cannon being fired from Sixtus and all the churches chiming in a couple of seconds later.
Head out of the city, to Bådehavnsgade. There's a small houseboat harbour, an industrial area with garages and welders, lots of tunnels and bridges, sydhavnstippen & Valby parken is just nearby. I do my own foley work for podcasts that i produce, and i spent an entire day out there with a zoom recorder and three mics. Jackpot. Bigtime.
The CPH sound to me is a windy day at Amager Strand, cleansing me from my hangover. Or maybe the sound of my gate magnet things locking as I enter/leave the yard.
I was in Odense this weekend, and the parks and streams had so much nice sound.
Idk if any of this is helpful, but id love to listen to the outcome of your work nevertheless. Enjoy your time 🇩🇰❤️
A few years ago I went to an amazing Azalea garden in or very close to Horsholm which is a suburb about 20km north of Copenhagen. Whilst there all I could hear was nature & frogs. I can’t remember the name of the place but it shouldn’t be too hard to find. I’m in Australia and I was in Copenhagen at about this time of the year in 2019. Good luck. Let us know if you get there.
The S trains and metro have a distinct sound when they accelerate/break
