Something went wrong on a mechanical device on top of the building that faces my balcony. I don't know what it is exactly (some fan. . . ) but the noise it produces is pretty theatrical. I just could'nt resist recording it. I belive this could be very useful to some of you looking for mechanical sounds. . . Recorded with a zoom h2n in x/y stereo mode.
My forklift recorded using my phone at work. I just cut out and muted most of the ambience using goldwave (http://www. Goldwave. Com/) to make it more just the hydraulics. If you cut out sections, scramble them and fool around with the speed in the sound, i think you can get a great variety of pneumatic and robot-sounding sounds out of it.
Recording of mill noise near the redmond airport (rdm). Not sure just exactly what the mill does. Includes light traffic on the adjacent road. Recorded with the zoom h2 handy recorder.
Recording of a 1970's model of a foil ribbon machine, used to create 1st, 2nd, 3rd, place ribbons, etc. . . Nice untouched mechanized, industrial sound.
This is an old sample that i recorded a while ago. Not sure where it came from but i think it might be a sewing machine, or some piece of industrial equipment.
