This is an old gramophone with a 78rpm vinyl-record. The sounds include the winding-up, the placement of the needle, crackle-noise and other surface sounds of the vinyl, lifted-up needle and the sound of the vinyl record-player stopping. Recorded in stereo on a zoom h4 handheld recorder.
Recorded and processed at 24bit 48khz using the tascam dr-40 linear pcm recorder. Processing: gain-staging and soft high and low frequency filtering. No eq boost or cuts anywhere else. Also de-noised.
Percussion is a diagnostic procedure that helps determine density, position, and size of underlying body structures, done by firmly tapping the body surface with fingers to produce a sound.
Sony ericsson w300i receiving a call in 'vibrate' mode. First against a soft surface, and then held in hand. Recorded with apex410 wide diaphragm condenser mic through mbox2.

Loud bell from wind-up 1950s spartus timer. Repeated four times. Electro-voice bk-1 microphone, miked close, on hard wooden surface. Some ambient room noise.
7 hits on a paddle fan. Still figuring out how to record this. Recorded on samson q2u - the mic was behind the drum surface, and it was struck by my finger lightly on the other side, while being held at a wooden handle. There's some light paint on the drum surface, which may be made of synthetic (plastic?) material, and the rim is wire. It was a gift - unsure of its origins or nature, but it sounds cool.
Penny dropping on granite countertop, three times. Single coin falling, clattering, sliding on smooth surface. High pitch metallic tinkling, clink, scrape. Recorded on zoom h2n, in home kitchen.
This is an original sample sound effect of sliding my metallic thermo bottle through greasy surface of a stone floor. Double one. Recorded on my old tascam dr07mkii.
Wind-up 1950s spartus timer ticking for approximately 100 seconds. Electro-voice bk-1 microphone, miked very close, on soft surface. Some ambient room noise.

A quarter spinning on a wooden surface. All my sounds are fully free to use, but please consider leaving a comment to let me know how you'll be using them. Just curious! :).
