A few takes of a sitting down in a herman miller aeron, the chair of choice for a lot of companies these days. All med-close, recorded with an h6 xy pair.
Just a small creak from the chair in the office of a whalewatching captain i was interviewing. A bit of ambient noise. Not much of a contribution, i know, but i've been using little creaks such as this to recreate the sound of a 15th-century sailing ship, so thought it might come in useful for someone somewhere.
It is a thunderous sound that is both constant and very strong. It had to be activated by a person by generating friction between the floor and the chair when dragging it.
Recorded that one annoying squeaky seat in a 400-seat theater - the one that the 5-year-old kid always sits in, and makes noise through your whole show. Zoom h2n at the spa little theater, saratoga springs ny usa.
Recliner couch closes up, with springs reverberation. Two takes, the first one is cleaner but the second has a bit more character. Recorded with røde ntg-3 into a canon c200. Exported as 48k wav out of premiere pro.
