This is a case front-loader/backhoe loading up concrete that was just broken up and loading it to a nearby dump truck. There are a couple workers using shovels and speaking a little bit of spanish i think. Unedited. No effects. Equipment: rode nt3 to sound devices 702.
This is two slabs of concrete , one on top of the other, and scraped together. In this sample i have changed the rate to give it a 'bigger slab' effect. You can also add reverb and play with the rate yourself for more dramatic effect.
A slab of stone continuously moved around on a sandy tiled floor. Might help to create some adventure sounds like big stone doors swinging open, or a stone lock being released. Recorded with my mobile, saved as wav by audacity.
Two, electrically powered jack-hammers at work with various starts, stops and runs as recorded from inside an apartment. Biographical note: currently work is being done on the balconies of my apartment building. . . This is what one hears for several hours every weekday.
A short walk cycle on a concrete sidewalk with some ambient wind in the background - i really need a windshield. Loops seamlessly. Recorded with a roland edirol r-09hr and edited in audacity. If you use this sample, please tell me what you did with it below! links are nice too.
A large scoop pounding away at a concrete bridge to demolish it. Sounds of metal and concrete banging repetitively. Background is an idling utility service truck.
This morning i woke up to the sound of a city crew jackhammering concrete just outside my window. I grabbed my h2 and recorded for a while. This file is an edit of the full recording. It contains two bursts of jackhammering, one fairly short and one longer. The background noise is the sound of the air compressor. Toward the end the compressor is turned off and the last of the pressure is released by the jackhammer as it sort of "putters out". This last bit is a bit unique.
Me walking as intensively as i can on the concrete floor of my garage in big boots. Intermittent sounds of cars and me struggling to breathe do leak through slightly but the sound is pretty clean overall if you're looking for a pronounced, stompy sound.
Below a bridge/overpass. Cars pass overhead, causing sharp thumping sounds across the stereo field that reverberate through the large concrete space below.
The sound of our basketball bouncing in a tall-roofed structure that produced a slight echo on the metal ceiling. Enhanced the echo noise with a reverb effect.
