Hawaiians go absolutely nuts on new years eve. This segment shows around midnight. Recorded in my back yard in a "quiet" subdivision in kihei, maui. You'll find several files in this series. Hope you find them useful - or at least entertaining! enjoy!.
These short files are random selections from a 9min composite audio file i put together from an accidental recording made when i left my sony camcorder on in my studio. They are part of the same series posted elsewhere on thefreesoundproject site titled "accidental recordist". There is some hiss/background noise which is part of the street front urban scene of my studio. There are two chimes - one low pitch constructed of four aluminium tubes and wooden clapper (gift) and the high pitch one of small stainless steel discs (purchased in maui from craft shop). I did some basic cleanup of low level background noise and applied plus one level of loudness using adobe soundbooth cs3 to get some clarity.
