An alarm sound. This sound was made by recording an actual beep from an alarm clock, duplicating the sound and slowing it down to 40% (0. 4x) of the original speed.
I recorded the sound of my alarm clock using a zoom h4n recorder and a rode m3 microphone. I can picture this sound being used at the start of an audio documentary that discusses the morning routine of someone who has to wake up early everyday. Maybe even the start of a film; this loud and obnoxious noise is an instant attention-grabber.
Car alarm recorded on a tascam with an azden shotgun mic, with wind cover. Recorded about 4-6 feet from the front of the vehicle. Audio is straight outta recorded, no post production.
Self-created fire alarm. The idea is based on the typical fire alarm in buildings and was supplemented by a typical (slightly pitched) sound sequence of the us emergency vehicles. The sounds and the composition were created completely with audacity. I would be happy about suggestions for improvement and how you have used the sound sequence. I used it as a fire alarm in my home automation.
Sound of a fire alarm from a local elementary school, with two microtonal notes that are playing against each other in an interesting way. Lots of wind. Recorded on an iphone.
