The sound of a lift in an office block in hounslow. It has a clanking mechanical sound that might work for a metal monster or robot in a sci-fi film. The lift chimes are also very old school and might be useful as well. Recorded with a tascam dr44wl.
Laundromat ambience including the sound of front load washer running, an attendant making conversation, a plastic cup full of coins, and a game playing faintly on the radio.
The washing machine is on spin mode. I'm afraid there's a bit of wind distortion in the latter part of the sound. This might make a neat sci-fi noise, maybe.
The mundane sound of an energy-efficient dishwasher. Does a great job. I did not lead-in or out so it can be looped, maybe softened and used as ambient background in a kitchen environment.
Just over an hour-long recording of an lg washing machine complete cycle. Recorded 1/02/2016 in my home laundry closet using a zoom h1 recorder and edited using wavepad, with flac conversion by audacity.
A low whirring sound with a squeaky loop on top, at the back of a university restaurant. No idea what produces that. Recorded on the fly with a crappy mic, but usable with a little cleanup.
Part of the turning cycle of an automatic screw machine making a small metal cylindrical part in a factory. Recorded with a rode nt4 microphone and the edirol r44 recorder.
