This a sound effect i created in acid pro for a play. It is intended to represent a conflagration with an explosive start, a fire alarm and then the approach of fire engines. The play was set in the eighties. It is made from a combination of sounds drawn from field recordings, freesound effects and purchased sound effects.
Traffic passes on a tree-lined street in the early spring, before the leaves have sprouted. Birds sing and there are several minutes of ambience. Then, a siren can be heard in the distance and eventually, a big fire engine passes, siren blaring and engine roaring.
The chirping sound from a crosswalk traffic light beeping. The siren from a fire-engine can be heard in the background. There is also some distant city traffic.
Two stroke diesel engine on a narrow boat on the river weaver cheshire - running at normal cruising speed. Audio track separated from a video. Camera was just in front of cabin - filming for most of the time towards the bow. The sound was captured when the camera was turned to film the two boaters at the helm.
This sound is recorded directly from one of my original 1938 98cc light motorbikes. This time is a express (manufaturer) sl 102 (type). The noise you hear is all specific. It is the fuel cock on selection, the flooding of the carburettor, suction of the engine, two tries to bring the engine to live with clutch action inbetween. Running on idle and two short openings of the throttle. Engine is shut off by using the decompression lever which is typical for this period of time and two stroke engines. .
It has the 5. 2l 4hk1 4-cylinder turbo diesel, which is the highest engine option for this truck. It also can come with a 3. 0l turbo diesel as well as a 6. 0l gm sourced v8 gas. Mated to the engine is an aisin 465 6-speed automatic transmission. Source: https://otohoanglong. Vn/gia-xe-tai-isuzu/.
Sound of a pickup truck. Keys jingle, door shuts, starter click, engine turns over and sits idle, tires roll over gravel slowly, then truck drives away. Normalization applied.
I took some matches, burned the whole package at the same time, then i moved it around the mic to get those lo-popping sound and all the hiss. I duplicated it on 4 tracks to get some stereo effect.
A fire alarm beeping at 3:00 am. It decided to beep, so i decided to publicize it and let the world hear it's voice. This was recorded in an apartment complex with the fire alarm just outside the door. It always does this at random parts of the day, and it's not that annoying but, it happens.
Recording of a fireplace where some wood is burning, the wood is not much dry so the sound is crunchy. I recorded few takes and edit and mixed them to get the right sound. Recorded using a stereo pair (ab) connected to an apogee mini-me and a computer.
