Recording of Valentine’s Day door handle bell jingles in a small room, recorded on an iPhone 7. The constant shaking in an up and down motion forcing the bells to bounce against each other is what causes some of the sound to have a clacking effect different from the lighter constant jingle noise.

On a sunny afternoon in Downtown Richmond, a gentleman was playing a tuba outside of Urban Farmhouse Market & Cafe. I asked him if he was playing for any specific reason, and his response was "just to hopefully make someone smile."

Sound recording of a Duke student playing an old Steinway piano with wooden keys in a residence hall common room. It is not an uncommon sound to hear as students walk in and out, heading to classes or settling down for the evening. Sometimes students will gather around to hear others play. The chosen piece requires quick and accurate finger movements. Recorded on a Zoom H4n Recorder. | Grabación del sonido de una estudiante de Duke University tocando un piano Steinway que es de llaves de madera en una sala de residencia.
