Small wind-up toy being wound up and allowed to walk by the mic. The wind-up key is then abused a bit, making a sound not entirely unlike a scratching record (but not much like one, either).
I used the sound of a brush scraping as the source, added the sound you get when you twist a russian doll (already convolved with itself), and this was the result. To me it sounds a little bit like wind.
A fan blowing, set to the highest setting. There's a strong low end presence, interestingly. The recording was made from behind the fan so the air wouldn't blow into the mic directly. Recorded with a zoom h1.
Recording of the wind blowing trough a metallic door into the resonant hall of a apartment building. Ms stereo recording, using a pair of akg se300 with k91/k94 capsules into a zoom h4n, decoded to stereo.
Pretty much i recorded this outside of my house in michigan. I recorded 4 seconds and copy and paste, so it is about 8 seconds. The first section is played normally then i copied it and made it play reversed. This sound is loopable and free to use.
About 15 seconds from a music-box right after winding it up all the way, so the notes are faster and a bit crisper then in my other samples. The melody is somewhat blurred due to the item's age, but it sounds like silent night.
Recorded on a h4n with a "deadcat" wind-sock, this short clip was recorded during the june 2016 rainstorm behind our house in redland bay in se qld. There is a very slight murmur of traffic that was hard to avoid, otherwise just the rushing of leaves in the gum-trees.
An entire country mansion was covered over with scaffold and sheeting to keep the rain off. Visitors were allowed to climb up the (many) metal stairs to an observation platform. I asked the helpful guide to be quiet whilst i recorded this odd environment! he obliged. Zoom h1 recorder.
Couldn't find the dry puff sound i was looking for so i did a quick recording. Figured someone might find it useful!. Originally created for my podcast here:www. Divecloudcast. Com.
