crickets

Sounds from a nighttime visit to Blandford Cemetery, located at 319 S. Crater Road in Petersburg, Virginia. The cemetery is the second largest in the state of Virginia.

Sound recording of an orchestra of crickets chirping in tall grass field under power-lines, along the Proctor Creek Greenway trail on a hot summer day. In addition to the sound of crickets, the buzzing of cicadas as well as chirping of birds could also be faintly heard in the distance. The predominant sound of nature invokes a sense of calm for visitors, thus offering a welcoming escape from the busy hustle and bustle of the city. Recorded with Zoom H6 recorder and Rode NTG2 shotgun condenser microphone

This is a recording of crickets chirping along with sounds of resting lake water near the Furman University Bell Tower at night. The lake water sounds similar to wind and can be heard throughout the clip. Faint voices and laughter are heard as students were taking night walks around the notorious Furman University lake. Recorded with a Zoom.

Position, distance, and location can all change the way you hear sounds. This is the sound of a train horn in the distance versus when it is getting closer and closer. Notice, you may hear vibrations the second time the horn blows. This is because the sound as well as the actual moving of the train caused the ground and my car to vibrate lightly, my phone had touched the car door as I was recording which reflected in the audio. You can also hear sounds of crickets because this was recorded at night in my car as I waited for a train to pass by. There is an abrupt transition in the recording as it goes from far away to close up because the sound was edited to be shorter than the original recording. This was recorded using the voice memo feature on the iPhone 7 Plus.
