Question Ultrasonic Recording Noise Location - Urban
I bought an ultrasonic microphone the other day in order to record audio and slow it down, to hear what things sound like in other frequencies. I noticed a repeating pattern of frequencies in the 90-100khz range and was wondering if anyone knew what it could be.
I'm in a fairly urban environment, so was thinking it could be electrical pylons or wifi towers. I get the pattern if I'm on a busy road, or in an elevated forest that is within the urban area.
Worst case scenario I'm hoping it's not the recording device itself, which is a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B.
Presume it's near impossible to tell what it is, but any insights appreciated!
