Someone asked for loud engine noises, so here they are. First one is a motorcycle recorded today around 3:40 PM.

I woke up from this eerie scream even with the bedroom window closed. The whole thing sounds even creepier in low pitch. Unfortunately, there is a small glitch in the recording, this is caused by the hour change when the stream recorder starts a new file.

On September 17, 2022, our local fire department celebrated its 130th birthday. To mark the occasion, a parade was held featuring fire trucks from all over the county. Here is a five minute clip of the parade as it reached my house. Actually, my microphones are set very low and without pre-processing, but in this…

Seems a lot of animal action happens at my house today. I’m not sure if these cats are just struggling or even make love. Enjoy anyway.

Another short one from recent microphone archives. This amuses me somehow.
