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. .
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.
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.
An r44 helicopter on a camel cull. It used giles weather station as a base ( i was working at giles at the time) they broke the record for number of kills in a day. 700. . .

Recording of a diesel loc, part of a maintenance train, returning to depot at about 1am. Recorded from my bathroom window in cardiff east. Repetive sound, thythmic in nature but with a clear pitch. Occasional white noise from airbrakes. Recorded with zoom h2n, 44. 1/24.
I did a ferry crossing over the little river mulde (was on a bike trip berlin-buscha ). The ferry is for pedastrians and bicycles only (some times a horse), it is without an engine, just power of muscles.
