Coffee Pancake Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Since getting a New Linden Home, I have noticed somewhat of a trend. Most of the vehicles sound like their authors only point of reference was a second hand tale from a passing traveler, who in turn picked up the story while stopping to rest one night in a Himalayan bar, from some dude who both looked, and smelt like a fermented yak. The sound made by this is not a good substitute for https://freesound.org have a huge archive of audio, all under various permutations of the Creative Commons. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animats Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 For what it's worth, the escalator sound for my escalators is the sound of the up escalator at the Barnes and Noble at Hillsdale Mall in Silicon Valley. Squeak and all. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selene Gregoire Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) The sound of the Martian ships opening in the original radio broadcast of War of the Worlds was a mason jar lid being unscrewed from the jar... held inside of a toilet bowl. The sound effects chief was Ora Daigle Nichols *. Foley sound effects are a range of live sound effects originally developed for live broadcasts of radio drama in the early 1920s in various radio studios around the world. Because no effective recording method existed in those days, a sound effects person had to create all sounds for radio plays live. *See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_March_of_Time_(radio_program) Our eyes and ears don't always see and hear what we think we see and hear.

mikka Luik Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 For what it's worth all sounds I make are a combination of self recording (cats, Bovington), generated clips via various OS programs and mangled voice overs by a group member. This is SL - my ears my imagination. Oh but yes. Have hours of them new electric cars if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pussycat Catnap Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 One more among many reasons why I drive a Tesla 'IRL'. The only sound a vehicle should make is Reggae blaring out the speakers. 🎼 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sister Nova Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 A good sound on a vehicle is something that's important to me. I'm not saying they should be 'rip-roaringly snarly', just not a drone (not the flying thing). I've had a couple of cars that looked great, drove adequately, but annoyed the hell out of me with their engine sound. They rarely come out of my inventory.
