The sound of some apples dropping with a nice, soft thud on a forest floor composed of wet leaves and soft pine needles. You'll also hear a light background of forest birds in the background.
A recording made in july around 7:00 at night near a huge man-made lake. The ever-present insects are there, but overshadowed by the peepers. 13 seconds in a dog barks off in the distance and the echo is just incredible. 24 seconds into the recording is the classic call of the red-wing blackbird. Made with samson c0-2 stereo microphones feeding a zoom h4n recorder.
Setup: 2 dynamic sennheiser microphones, one pointed out of the window in the west on a tree and the other one out of the window in the south pointed at a tranquil street.
Sorry for the white noise, they were too far and i just have only this budget recorder! :). Recorded in el hierro (canary islands), twilight. This is a very classic sound there in the coast when the sun falls in summer. Recorded with a zoom h4n, with its internal mic (set at 120º).
Bird chirping, singing; ambience, suburb. Sounded recorded with zoom h4n, in a suburb of keszthely (hungary). Processed: lowcut, compression, converted to flac(audacity; level 8).
A very summer sound: a large bee buzzing by the microphones. This is a carpenter bee, commonly referred to as a bumblebee in the united states. Recording can stand for most any buzzing insect, though.
Rain and lesbians. A recording of me walking through my apartment complex using my h2. Caught a short conversation with my lesbian neighbors in the elevator.
Part 1 of 2. Nightinggale and other birds recorded from inside my room, in may 2000. Using apple microphone and minidisc. Recorded in a green area in a suburb in stavanger, norway.
A recording i made of birds outside my window, at about 5:30 sometime in late may, 2013. Excuse the noises at the beginning. . . Was kind of groggy :).
Not a very good recording, and very short - but this is the flapping of a juvenile bald eagle's wings and its cry. I'm only uploading this because i don't think there are any other samples on freesound. I didn't manage to get a good shot at this one, so that's all there is. But i'll try for a better sample as soon as i can. This is a real bald eagle - not a red-tailed hawk, which is what most eagle samples really are. As with the loons, i'm on a bad dialup connection but if i get a better sample i'll upload it as a wav.
A short, simple recording of a cardinal chirping in deep woods during a light rain. He gets closer toward the end of this 21 second recording---very simple, yet peaceful. I used by zoom h4n recorder and, my homemade parabolic dish in which i mounted my rode ntg-2 microphone in. . . . Kevin.
In honor of my new guru pramahansa yogananda, i searched for a swan sample. Then i added: time stretch, high pass sweep, flange, rotator pann, delay @ 124 bpm,. Thank you guru, namaste.
Recording made about 7am on a warm summer morning in late july. Recording made with my zoom h4n using my home-made parabolic microphone. Notice the ebb and flow of the insects, almost mesmerizing.
Binaural recording of a bee. Background noises of birds, people and wind. Note:please send me a message if you use my samples. Always happy to see where they land.
