Turning a portable space heater onto the "high" setting and then turning it off again. Recorded with a Yeti Stereo Microphone.

This recording was taken in a bathroom at the James B. Cabell Library at 8:30 PM on a Thursday in February of 2018. In the recording, you will hear the sound of paper towels being dispensed from an electronic paper towel dispenser, and being used to dry the hands of a teenager. This sound was recorded with an iPhone 7 and was edited with Audacity.

This is the sound of an Xbox One video game console turning on. The noise is being generated by a speaker within the system's internal hardware. There is slight interference from the air. Recorded with a CAD u37.

Sound recorded in the residential housing (Rhoads) for students at Virginia Commonwealth University. The computer that was being used, was a custom built PC that my friend had made a few years ago. The noise was coming from his graphics processing unit (GPU) when it was running at maximum speed. Recorded using a Zoom H1 audio recording device in stereo recording mode.
