I recently erased a cassette tape with my panasonic cassette dictation machine that previously had audio on it, i noticed that it had a white noise after doing so, i figured i would upload it.
This is a recording of a synthesized sound that has a vintage radio feel. These are three separates sounds with a small pause between them. Synthesized using a free vst synthesizer.
Sampled from a 20 inch k. Zildjian istanbul ride from the 1950s, and subsequently modified by master cymbal smith mike skiba for a final weight of 2220 grams. Recorded with stereo pm mics. This is a hard stick tip hit on the bell or cup of the cymbal.
Dialing the number 3. The dial plate telephone "fetap 611-2" (fernsprechtischapparat) in screaming orange was distributed by the german bundespost from 1972 on. It uses a real bell for ringing and of course it can only do pulse dialing. This was recorded with a single røde nt5 microphone via a behringer ddx3216 digital console into ardour. Normalized over all dial pulse samples of this set. Edit feb 2020: i changed the license to cc0 since i myself use cc0 material from freesound these days a lot.
Motorboat running, increasing in speed then steady. Water sloshing and some birds. Eventually slows and heavy wave sound. Engine revving and sputtering at end.
