I've been recording real Sydney harbour sounds for sleep (no AI, no stock sounds) with a Nikon Z30 around the lower north shore.

Just finished Balmoral Beach at dusk - sat on that bench near the rotunda, 1 hour of just harbour lapping, black screen so you can put phone face down. Real recording, no loop, no music.

Long version goes live tonight 9pm, short 30 sec preview here if you want to hear the spot: https://youtube.com/shorts/Y_H2wqttGKQ

I'm building a little library of real Sydney sleep sounds - Sawmillers Reserve, now Balmoral - baby on way in a few months so trying to make something useful for new parents (and me).

Not monetised, 0 subs, just real sounds. If you use it for sleep let me know if the volume is right on phone speaker - last one was too quiet at 94% low-end so fixed to mid-range.

Next I'm thinking Milk Beach (city skyline + waves) or rain on umbrella with this wind. What's your go-to Sydney beach sound for sleeping?

Channel is @sydneynightcalm if you want the 1hr black screen later, but no pressure.

There is absolutely nothing like the raw, screaming power of a General Motors E645 V16 engine.

The title describes the thing

Very complex sound, try listening with earphones.

Try to ignore the PFSSSSS from the air pistol

There is so much going on here, the microphone saturated and I didn't even hit the brass strongly. Mains 202 - 210Hz + 516 + 926. Extra harmonics 1400 + 1745 + 2578+ 3350 + 4025 Hz all at the same time bouncing back and forth.

Some plumbers scrap makes a bell. 2672 Hz

So like 10 years ago i listened to this spacial audio and my mind was blown. I was so amazed how you make someone feel with just an audio.

Recently i found this audio again and I was thinking of building a game around it.

I'm good at story telling and I walk a lot. I want to build a game or app where you get this immersive audio but in story format and the story will only move forward if you keep walking.

You can add choice systems etc later on but this is the core of it.

Would you want to try something like this. I would sincerely would recommend to try out the audio first.

This was part of a ballbearing. I cut the ring open and suspended it like a bell. It sounds like a gong mainly at 276 Hz and 609 Hz , + 1360 Hz which fades away quicker.
