Here are the sounds I recorded:
- The "loose parts" sounds were a slightly unscrewed valve on a trumpet.
- The hydraulic leg-lifting noise was a hatch door opening on a van.
- The metal foot hitting the ground was me banging on a metal garage door.
- The humming engine noise (it's quiet) was a roll of duct tape spun on a wooden board.
- The various other clanks and pops were the same trumpet noises, just edited a bunch.
One day while playing the mobile game Crossy Road, I my sound being used for one of the characters. If you end up using my sound, let me know! I'd love to know what kind of things it's being used in.
This is called "Three-Legged Robot Walker with Loose Parts" because it was a Foley assignment for my Sound Design course years ago. This was one of the obscure things the professor gave the class that we had to interoperate and create using only our own recorded/edited foley effects. The class voted on the best one, and mine turned out to be the winner.

I love this! What a brilliant job. And thanks for the explanation of what went into it. Really useful and a great window into how to think like a sound designer. A very worthy winner of your class vote. Thank you!
