Recorded by my partner, who was out walking the dog, too close to the road again. I hear three motorcycles and a passing car. As usual, the guy with the smallest engine was working it the hardest.
With resemblance to the sound of an engine, this sound can be used with various different mechanical objects in mind. This sound was bounced into 24bit, 48hz, interleaved audio. This sound was synthesised using a digital synthesiser.
This is the sound of traffic at a stop light both stopping and going through the light as it turns red and green. There is a motor cycle in this audio that is idle waiting for the light with some revving and it's ultimate take off. Recorded in stereo with a sony pcm-d100.
Stereo contact mics clipped to directly to the exhaust pipe of a honda crf250m motorcycle whilst the engine is started, revved and then stopped. Tascam dr-22wl, custom stereo contact mics. 20-05-10_102646_dr-22wl_crf250m_exhaust_contact. Wav.
A passing motorcycle on the freeway. Fade-in/out added to reduce wind and traffic noise. Slight low-mid attenuation to compensate for filtering caused by the freeway sound-barrier. Note: slowing this down results in a pretty neat foundation for a large aircraft. Recorder: zoom h1date & time: ?location: fremont, ca (usa).
