bus stop

Sound recording of birds chirping in the courtyard enclosed by the Parker H. Petit Building at Georgia Tech, located adjacent to a bus stop. Recorded using a Samsung S6 Edge.

This recording gives us a variety of frequencies of one sound, which is really helpful when it comes to learning about sounds. By getting close to the source of the sound, the sound became louder and the frequency was higher. In contrast to when the distance between the sound source, in this case the bus, and the recording device (iPhone 6) increased, the sound was not as loud and the frequency of the sound was lower. While recording, I was holding the recording device in my hand and kept it as still as possible. I started by siting on the bench at the bus stop, but after a period of time I decided to get closer to the bus. The bus seemed like one of those old, public transportation buses, not one of the new, more modernized buses. Also this recording was recorded at night, approximately 8 PM.
