Audio recording of the siren test at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. Recorded from the fifth story of Brandt hall out of my dorm room window. Recording taken on an iPhone 7.

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.

An audio excerpt from footage shot by the Associated Press of a public protest over fuel price hikes in Port-au-Prince. Shouts can be heard from the mob at the beginning of the recording, followed by orders from a Haitian policeman speaking through a megaphone. The policeman’s announcement is quickly followed by the sound of a gunshot and more shouts and clamor.
