I will record any sound (preferably CC0) from Freesound through this special microphone, to give it a very lo-fi sound. Just post the Freesound link to the sound you want recorded in this thread

Hmm... I'm gonna pick this just to try to get a feel for the frequency response of the thing.

Apparently it also works the other way around: has a cassette of Mozart with fetal speakers.

No hard requests from my part, but here's some ideas for fun
Ideas :
Your own heart.
Against your chest and humm at different frequencies/notes.
Record the floor and walk around it, for footsteps sounds.
Against an electric kettle boiling water
Different instruments ? Guitar bass, percussions etc...
Against a bridge with cars going over it
Typical bottle / blowing over/in it sound.
Maybe something with a car? If you're in a backseat of one, record the window or something.

Thanks!!!

Well as I finished typing this and re-read the thing, I realised I'm off-topic and it was about resampling sounds x')
Here's two from me that could be interesting
https://freesound.org/people/Sadiquecat/sounds/577854/ Lofi Piano, soon to be extra lofi
https://freesound.org/people/Sadiquecat/sounds/695630/ Cat purr

Thanks again!

ok those three sounds are currently processing. I apologize if there are any background noises, my house makes a lot of noises and it's kind of unavoidable

Interesting. Thanks for doing that. The device preserves a pretty good dynamic range and frequency response. Seems like it's mostly doing a lowpass along with some crackle from the electronics or something. The upper midrange also seems rolled off in a way that creates a sense of distance or "psychoacoustically implied reverb".
Maybe it'd be good for creating something akin to an "educational VHS tape" vibe, or for adding a roomy quality to drum tracks or guitar recordings. If I were using it in rock'n'roll I'd probably blend the processed signal 50/50 with the original, as this is one of those tricks that always seems to sound good.

you realize I'm playing it back and recording the speakers, right? There's no Line In on the device

just so you guys know, my Bebesounds Heart Listener finally broke on me. So unless I get another one off EBay, there's no more requests
