A mechanical timer, getting wound up. Unfortunately it doesn't tick anymore, so all i could record was the widing, and handling of it, and the ringing it does at the end.
This is a file that i created with only my voice, multitracked many times with each track altered in a different way, using audacity. Hope it works for you.
Shaking a 7-up can by holding the rim and holding the can sideways so the tab i broke off earlier slides around inside the can up and down the walls. It still has a few drops in it. File ends when i put it down on the desk on the other side of my keyboard from the mic. Recorded with cheap 12-year-old radio shack mic.
Simple synth snare + 3 higher speeds. ⸻ "how do you make a classic synth snare, do you just take white noise and go like. . . " *goes like* ". . . Huh" yep you just go like. (going like consists of setting an oscillator to sine with just a release tail and noise + a lowpass snapping up and trailing off gently + compression/distortion of some sort + high frequency shelf snapping down from high gain and then back up).
Starting a two-stroke chainsaw and reving it, then cutting up a pine tree. Recorded in stereo at 24 bit 96 khz with a sony pcm m-10. All my sounds are dedicated to the public domain, and are free to use, no restrictions. Although i really appreciate a message or comment if you use my sound for something interesting. Always fun to hear where my recordings end up :).
Recording of a synthesizer loading patches from tape storage, made by placing a magnetic pickup next to the digital port during the load operation. (i don't recall specifically which synth was involved, sorry!).

A collection of motors from appliances and devices in and around the house, recorded with a magnetic pickup plugged into a portable microcassette recorder.
Captured in a small she-oak forest on the edge of pink lakes, a salt lake in murray sunset national park , victoria australia. The wind sings beautifully through these trees. Recorded with a ms set up using a sennheiser 416 paired with sennheiser mkh-70 into a zoom h4n. I then synced this up with another recording from a different position using a zoom 4n.
I bought a portable sw radio for about £2 from a local flea-market, hoping to pick up some interesting radio stations from around the world and maybe some "spy" numbers stations if i was lucky. Had a quick scan this morning and stumbled on this nice clear station, sounds russian - most likely the end of the broadcast and wrapping up with a repeated code to indicate end of transmission.
Description of collection :dji mavic mini 2 sounds. Recorded on a zoom h5 stock xy mic. No editing not even normalizing, just chopped up segments in audacity. I apologise some recordings may have footsteps sounds, and remote blips (maybe the latter is good and more authentic). Mic may have been places either pointing left-right, or up-down, or both pointing up. Microphone wasn't on the floor, but set on a bench. Recorded indoor. Hope you enjoy :)ps: id love to hear how you use this sound, feel free to link your creations or share how/why you listen to this :).
Someone aimlessly flipping through the pages of a book. It is fast and pointless, at the end they slam the book closed. This is done in a library set up, note the ambience.
A melody i came up with in midi shifting notes around. The sound is from an acoustic guitar note sample of mine with effects, ran through structure free in pro tools.
Startup ignition and full burn of helicopter turbine (bell 206) throttling up until full flight, long clip, 8 minutes, first 15 seconds are empty unfortunately.
Zipping open and closed at various speeds. Recorded with a rigid tripod bag, with the intended purpose of voicing a tent being zipped up and down. Raw audio, unprocessed.
Held the mic up to the desk drawer and shuffled around things looking for something. Not much to it. Recorded with a $30 mic from target. A samson m10. Recorded in audacity.
