My window air-conditioner on the fan setting. Fan turns on for a few secs and shuts off. Recorded on yeti usb microphone on the stereo setting. Microphone was placed about 6 inches from the unit, right below the top vents where the air comes out. Some very low frequency rumble was attenuated slightly.
Mac ibook g3's cdrom working and producing various sound including some air noise from the spinning cd. Recorded very close to the cdrom with rode nt1000 condensor microphone through tlaudio fat2 tube preamp through rme hammerfall dsp audio interface.
A recording of me switching a tall, thin fan on and off. About half-way through the recording i switch the fan to high. Recorded with a zoom h1 handy recorder.
A recording of a super fast hand dryer at a service station in the uk. Adjusted to reduce over loud volume and converted from wma to wav in adobe soundbooth.
This is a simulated aircraft flyover made from a tablefan and some processing. This is my first sound effect. It is normalized and should be mixed quite low for a believable effect.
Interiour fan on defrost, 2003 hyundai elantra. Edited with audacity. Recorded on shock-mounted zoom h1 mic, record level 62, autogain off, gain low. Record location, inside a car in a single garage (great sound room).
Recording near a computer fan and hard drive. Not great quality recording. I had placed the mic right where all the air was blowing. Sounds best on lower volumes.
This is the sound of the broken fan at the bathroom in my friends house. It sounds a lot like a cricket, but i can assure you it’s a machine- once again this was straight off my phone so sorry if the quality is pretty bad. I hope this can still be of use to you. You don’t need permission but i would like to know if anyone does use it, just for the sake of curiousity :).
The sound of a playstation 2 system starting up and idling , hardware only. Recorded with a marantz pmd661 and exported as a. Wav through adobe audition after normalization.
