New zealand ja class locomotive coming into, stationed at and leaving hamilton station. Homeward bound to auckland (glennbrook) after a joint day trip to national park and back. Recorded in very cold conditions with a sony dictaphone, near 10pm nzst.
In this sample you hear a recording from inside a well sound insulated room, directly under the roof of a house. Strong rain hints the roof and produces low frequency muted sounds. In the background you hear the constant noise of the rain, coming through the window. There are also a few raindrops hitting the glass of the window. The sample was recorded using the built-in stereo microphone of a zoom h4n recorder. It was slightly processed to remove unwanted low and high frequencies which were not related to the actual recording. If you use this sound, please add a comment or send a private message what you created using it. :-).
Raw audio of a street in bağcılar, istanbul at day time. Children playing and junkman yells on street. And birds flying. Recorded with rode k2 on the roof.
Actually is not rain. It is snow melting down from a roof, falling into puddles and onto a corrugated roof. I placed the microphone (zoom h2) on different spots in 4channel sorround mode. I just normalized them and mixed them into stereo. Thats it. In this case the mic is placed on the ground in the middle of the puddles and the roof. Feel free to vote and leave a comment, maybe letting me know how you are going to use it :). You can easily loop the sound without a notable cut in the mix. Cheers, pillo.
Sounds from a steam-train, squeaking and rattling inside with no additional passenger sounds (no one else was in that coach). The recording starts with the train approaching in the station and the squeaking of the brakes and the hiss of the steam. This particular train goes up and down the "brocken" in the harz, germany.
Various trains passby:train passby, squeetching wheels, rythmic train mechanics. Build up, fast and slow passby. Recorded with a zoom h4 (120 degree setting), at night in düsseldorf, germany. Unprocessed.
