Free Sound Of The Week is a new weekly series here on AGZ, once a week I’m going to share a couple sound samples I’ve recorded or created and manipulated.
These samples we’ll call Household Drones. Big rumbly low frequency drones. They were created by attaching a contact microphone to various home appliances – air conditioner, large room fan, inside a freezer and refrigerator. Each sample is long, ranging from 3 to 4.5 minutes long (for seamless loops) and recorded at a high sample rate 96kHz (for clean time-stretching) and unprocessed.

Hope you like these and find them useful. If you do find them useful let me know.
More samples next week!
Also Interesting:
Great stuff, looks like everyone’s got the contact mic itch right now. I especially loved the “fan” sample!
I vote for the fan sample, too. Sounds like a freaking helicopter.
I’m gonna have to write some music that lends itself to fan noises now.
