This is an old toy made of metal. It has a handle on top which turns to produce the sound. It is supposed to play a simple melody but it is broken and only plays one pitch.
I'm a student studying sound and i and recording sounds this is one of the recordings. This sound was recorded by having the microphone near a clock in a empty room.
It is a constant sound that is made up of two different sounds, one of them having small pauses in the same interval. It was activated with the start button on the treadmill.
My neighborhood on july 4, 2012 (independence day, us). More crackly fountain sparklers and whistlers in this one, but still lots of bottle-rockets and mortars.
I recorded this sound back in 2002. A vent at the movie theater i worked was making this sound in the back of one of the theaters. So i recorded it between shows.
One of the most beautiful man-made sounds is coffee pouring into a mug. Made on june 23rd, 2016 using a sennheiser me66 microphone going into a marantz pmd661.
