Sound recording of cicadas above Proctor Creek near the Proctor Creek Greenway, recorded with Sony PCM-M10 recorder and Electro-Voice RE50B omnidirectional dynamic microphone. Voices of students and the bubbling of the creek are faintly audible in the background.  The rise and fall of this sound contributes to the welcoming culture of the Greenway, reminding visitors of their natural environment in contrast to the sounds of the nearby city.

Sound recording of a leaf blower on the beginning section of the Proctor Creek Greenway, recorded with Sony PCM-M10 recorder and Electro-Voice RE50B omnidirectional dynamic microphone. This blower's nearly overwhelmingly loud rumble acts a deterrence to visitors and negatively affects the Greenway's welcoming culture.

Audio recording of water gently flowing over a rock at Proctor Creek below the first bridge on the greenway trail; quiet chatter can be heard in the background. The calming rush of water illustrates how the greenway is welcoming to all through means of the natural environment. Recorded with a Sony PCM-M10 and an Electro-Voice RE50B Omnidirectional Dynamic microphone.
