This sound needs no explanation for anyone who has had the pleasure of utilizing ground based public transport.

Less Water Over the Dam
In contrast to the last entry, here’s the same Mississippi river water flowing out from a different part of the same dam. Obviously the frequency is much lower as well as the amplitude.
I actually boosted the volume considerably after using the same level settings as the previous recording.
More Dam(n) Noise
Water Over the Dam
The sound of the water going over this section of the Coon Rapids dam across the Mississippi river about fifteen miles North of Minneapolis, was deafening. Virtually all other sound within the environment was drowned (no pun intended) out by the fierce white water noise. I made a recording that is about a minute and a half long. Here’s about thirty seconds of it, but my questions is what would one use this sort of sound for, other than water over a dam sound effects?

Post Heliotrope Bells
After checking out a few bands during the Heliotrope festival at the Ritz Theater in Northeast Minneapolis, I starting riding home as a light rain began to fall. It was about 1:07am. Halfway home I heard church bells. Loud, cacophonous, church bells. Not what you’d expect to hear at that time. I dug my recorder out of my bag and started cycling quickly toward the sound. There are churches (plural) on almost every block in my neighborhood, but it didn’t take long to find the one making all the racket. I stopped in the middle of the street and recorded the ringing for more than six minutes. There’s a lot more to this story, but for now, here’s one minute and sixteen seconds of what I captured.

Foot Falls Breaking Sticks in Wooded Area
Here’s a set of crunchy footsteps recorded in a wooded area. There’s a bit of wind noise, but it otherwise represents the sound of trailblazing through a thick, young forest.
