Sound recording of cars passing by Brightleaf Square on N. Gregson St. during afternoon traffic in Durham, NC. Recorded on a Zoom H4N.
Sound recording of "elevator" music inside Brightleaf Square shopping center. Recorded on a Zoom H4N.
Sound recording of running water from a sink in an apartment on Erwin Road. At first, the only sound is the water running, however in the background the noise of emergency vehicle sirens gradually arise and the sounds of the water become the "constant" in the background. The sounds of the sirens outside are as heard through the glass window (i.e. the windows are all closed). Recorded on a ZoomH4N device.
Sound recording of cars passing on wet asphalt and the trickling of water during freezing rain in front of The Pinhook on W Main Street (near the intersection with N Magnum St) during mid-morning traffic on a Sunday. Recorded with Zoom H4N recorder.
The sound of a small car driving by on W. Markham Avenue bordering Duke University around 2:00pm. I stood still and held my recorder, an iPhone 6, at my waist while standing on the sidewalk next to the street as the car drove past me.
The inside water sounded similar to someone gargling moutwash. Of the water recordings analyzed, it is one of the most loud and powerful underwater sounds. Again, as might be expected, no human factors can be distinguished.
Since the rocks were quite close to the ATC top, the waterfall is the most distinguishable water feature in the recording. Music can also be heard. The water by the rocks themselves is much less distingushable.
The large garden fountain sounded incredibly similar to the small waterfall fountain at Duke Gardens, but with more human conversation and less lawnmower. The trickling heard is moderate and sounds similar to a light rainshower.
The water under the stream also sounded powerful, and the jumps of the recorder in and out of the stream made for an interesting slurping sound.
