Coffee is served from a coffee pot into a cup, then the cup is placed on a saucer. Recorded with a zoom h4n portable recorder. Edited a bit in audacity to raise the level of the coffee pouring sound and lower the level of the saucer impact sound.
Erratic scraping of a wooden spoon around a quarter-full porcelain canister of sugar. Small and large strokes and scrapes. Recorded using a tascam dr-40x.
Prepare tea: open metal can, rustling tea leaves fall into a strainer, boiling water is poured in, the kettle is turned off again. Recording with tascam-dr05, post-processing in garageband and audacity.
It is not a constant sound because several alterations are perceived during its reproduction, there are moments when it is soft, strong, slow, etc. It was activated the moment a person chopped potatoes.
The whole precedure: switch-on-klick. Heats up. Hisses with a few nice whistling melodies (from 00:27 on). Boils. Automatic switch off. Close stereo recording (10cm) with sony pcm-10. Pretty low background noise (kitchen ambience).
I needed the sound of a domed lid being lifted off a dinner platter. I looked here but didn't see what i needed so i broke out the zoom h2n and recorded my own (i keep forgetting that i have that). Hope you can use it.
