The first one?

Was it a human pronouncing it?

[stuck copper]

Are you sure it wasn't des immeubles

Bc there's no way anyone would pronounce an s in des meubles

[oblique acorn]

could it be down to liaison if the sentence was 'des meubles et du tapis'?

[stuck copper]

no theres no liaisons there

it must be des immeubles

[modest void]

You still haven't specified WHICH s you're talking about

ah now I understand your question, des meubleS et du tapis. Do I hear it correctly that there is some kind of 'connecting sound' between the last letter of 'meubles' and the 'et' ?

[stuck copper]

Ah oui
