Pull up a chair and have a seat! a wooden dining room chair was used to lift, scoot, and place on a hard, concrete floor. Gear: zoom h6, ssh-6 shotgun capsule, windscreen. Please feel free to leave feedback and ratings. I would love to hear how you put the sound to work.
A metal axe striking a piece of brick, sending shards of debris across the dirt. High pitched 'tink" sound. Recorded with a rode videomic pro into a zoom h5 recorder.
A pneumatic air tool (jackhammer) was used to lower some concrete blocks on the exterior of our garage. I was inside the house recording it with a zoom h2 recorder. So this was recorded through an insulated wall. This is the longer recording.
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 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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Walking on the concrete area of a nature trail on a late summer evening. Heavy footsteps with hard impact on concrete. The sound of crunched acorns and sticks can occasionally be heard and a pine cone being kicked. Crickets chirp continuously in the background. Recorded in southeast usa with a sony ic recorder.
