The winding and release of the shutter on on old camera i found. I did the recording from a few different positions around the mic. Don't forget to rate and comment.
Wind can sometimes play havoc with recording --- but, with some luck you can get good wind recordings. Here is a recording of lake waves lapping at the short of a small lake in southern illinois. This particular day, the winds were blowing steady out of the south at 25 miles an hour, with gusts even higher. Recording made with my trusted zoom h4n recorder, using its built-in microphones. Of course a foam wind-screen made this recording listenable. Without the foam wind-screen the recording would simply have been an obnoxious, unintelligable roar!also, since the waves were so loud to begin with, i did not have to crank the recording gain real high -- i had the gain only on 65 for this recording. .
Recording of a 1993 mcdonalds 'sound machine' toy's clicking dial as i wind it forwards and backwards. Some squeaking of the plastic as the knob turns. Recorded with a blue yeti usb microphone in cardioid mode. No post-processing. Could be used for a plastic safe sound or winding a toy.
Standing at an underpass at night with gusty wind. 2 cars cross nearby at the end (left -> right)zoom h8 field recorder with xyh-6 stereo mic at 120 degrees.
I recorded myself winding up an old wall-clock in my living room to use in a song. I used the built-in microphone in an ipad, re-recorded to cubase, added a bit of compression, a gate, and a limiter. It's a stereo file, but the sound is mono.
Wind recorded at the end of 2016 in canary islands opposite a corner wall. Strong wind (thanks to the mountain), but it was recorded on the other side of a house and it wasn't that strong in that moment. There are snorts, sorry (i haven't zeppeling). Hope it's useful for you. Recorded with a zoom h4n with its internal stereo mic. Credit is optional: don't worry about it :) completely free sound.
Several cracks of thunder, with a long booming echo. Recorded with sony pcmd100 on early saturday morning, january 11th 2020. The temperature during this round on wind-driven rain was 56 degrees. Still feels strange to have march weather in january.
