Rough clean-up of the sounds :https://freesound. Org/people/yarmonics/sounds/445956/recorded by http://www. Yarmonics. Com/ https://freesound. Org/people/yarmonics/. I deleted parts with handling noise and normalized the sound. For a quick drag and drop in a video editing project and such. It's not perfect and i may have missed some handling noise hence "rough cleanup". But it's a bit better :)if this will be background noise in a video/music, you'll probably lower the volume and the handling noise will become much less apparent. Don't hesitate to eq out the lows too. Fritton lake, norfolk uk. Enjoy.
Recording of a small creek, water tumbling over a small limestone rock. I placed my zoom h4n recorder with built-in microphones so close that you will hear the ocassional "pop/puff" as a water drop actually hits the big foam wind-screen.
The exciting thing about recording and cataloging natural sounds is how you get nice, unexpected surprises. I was up early recently one spring day and did not have any real plans to record, until i stepped outside with my coffee to see what the weather was like and was nicely surprised with the light, steady spring rain that was falling in my yard; during the whole time this energetic carolina wren kept on singing through the rain. I rain, got my recorder and recorded a full hour of this peaceful pattering. You hear the drops hitting the concrete patio, the shingled overhang and a plastic chair. Zoom h4n recorder using the stereo built-in mics.
Water and laundry sloshing about the inside of a washing machine during the agitate cycle, recorded first up close (with mic nearly inside machine) and then from a few feet away.

A towel heavily soaked in water being wrung out on our paved terrace. Irritatingly there's a hind of birdsong in the background. Recorded using a sony pcm m10, as part of an evocation of laundry activity in rural india.
A fountain from a swimming pool. Pool is in a backyard from a house off a semi-busy street, so there is some faint traffic, also some birds and faint wind chimes. Recorded with a roland r-05 digital recorder.
