Sound Recordings

The sounds that where recorded are:

1. Coffee Machine - Starting with a low bellowing hum of the rotating blades or an internal water pump to the much higher frequency splashing a spluttering of the water being brought to a boil and spilling into a cup.

2. Wind - Low frequency almost constant sound, some changes in pitch and amplitude but over all a relatively small margin for change. Wind also causing the creaking of trees as they twist in the wind, leaves individually flexing and colliding with one another.

3. Voices in a Hallway - Medium frequency voices in a narrow long hallway reverberating off the walls.

4. Squeaky Shoes - Shoes against a smooth floor, slight reverberation caused by the smooth floor and wall surfaces. Very high frequency, abrupt start and finish.

5. Vending Machine - A rotating fan inside the machine vibrating while rotating causing a quite high amplitude low frequency repeating sound.

6. Shallow Frying Food - Very high frequency noise, lots of tiny individual bodies of water expanding in the heat of the frying oil. Like the leaves in the wind only manny more sound sources.

Knowing a bit about the science of sound, how sounds are created, what a sound wave is and all there representations in diagrams i took to these tasks quite easily. understanding what it is that makes up what you hear and how your brain interprets kinetic vibrations of the air around us to something that simulates our conciseness is such a way.
