An alarm effect that sounds a bit like some alert going off in an airplane cockpit. Made from a very slowed down recording of me whistling, with the help of dfx skidder.
A quickly rising synth that then sustains until repeating, meant to sound like the sort of alarm you'd hear in top secret bases and whatnot, could be used for quite a few contexts. This was made in beepbox using the guitar harmonics instrument.
I bought my own fire alarm (i am an enthusiast) on ebay. I went into my garage to record it. And it didn't work. I tinkered with it a little and got it to work. And this is what it sounds like. Feel free to use with no credit.
American signal t-128 and federal signal 2001 siren sounding in attack mode. These sirens are normally sounded in a steady tone for tornado warnings, but this rising and falling tone would be used for civil emergencies like an air raid or other attack on the city.
The dutch city of leiden has a test of its civil emergency alarm, at midday on the first monday of every month. Here is a distant recording of the alarm as it is heard in a leiden soundscape.
This was recorded with the help of my lovely local fire volunteers. There is no doppler, no vehicle engine, no street noise. Has a bit of echo to it. Includes 3 different siren sounds to be edited as you need.
Basic sound using reason 10. Modular. Edited and rendered in reaper. Loaded into morphagene. Output (left) into erbeverb to create stereo. This fed into dual lpg from buchla (thomas white eurorack version) voltage controlled by random wogglebug trigger into tempi and maths envelop and thence into mimeoophone and into mixer as stereo. Other stereo from morphagene direct through mixer to element 24 to re-edit and render in reaper. Mixer doepfer a-138bp (dual 4 track version). Please excuse the clicks - caused by the analog handling and slight clipping (i´ll do better next time, i promise :).
This is a nice stereo recording of a police car approaching from the distance with it's siren wailing and it passes and disappears into the distance. Recorded with: fostex fr2le, bp4025.
This is the sound that you hear if you press the emergency button of an elevator for less that one second. This elevator is at upf poblenou campus, at the tanger building, where diverse research groups do their work.
Recorded at the office when it was raining. I didnt have any specific tool to record the room so i just brought my cell phone and i started recording. There is some noises when dragging the phone, but it you edit on audacity it wont be much of a problem.
Self-created fire alarm. The idea is based on the typical fire alarm in buildings and was supplemented by a typical (slightly pitched) sound sequence of the us emergency vehicles. The sounds and the composition were created completely with audacity. I would be happy about suggestions for improvement and how you have used the sound sequence. I used it as a fire alarm in my home automation.
This is my second alarm recording produced with lmms (ami evan) then imported in audacity where i recorded my own voice and added a vocoder to make it sound more robotic.
