A school bus passing from left to right with very squeaky air brakes on a quiet residential street. Recorded as i was testing a new rig on august 14, 2007 -- zoom h4 and a pair of cad m179 microphones on a home-made jecklin disk.
Here's a pretty lengthy recording of the bus i (currently) take home from school each day. (i'll hopefully be driving there as soon as i get my license. ) listen closely for ambient creaking, kids chit-chatting, and mild footsteps as the bus makes two stops (on this recording) on certain stops. Use this for your next short movie or any other project you're currently working on. Recorded via a zoom h4n.
Three-way intersection with a crossing guard. A school bus with squeaky brakes stops, the guard whistles traffic to a halt, and the bus moves, honking its horn as it goes. Traffic then proceeds.
End of school day, kids waiting for their ride home. Various busses arrive and the kids get on them. The busses drive away. Lots of voices, and engines. A flag can also be heard flapping in the wind. Recorded with: fostex fr2le, bp4025.
