This is one of the best machinery sounds on this site
10 years ago
I've had occasion to find the sound of "machinery starting up" and all I've ever found have been old-time elevators which are beautiful in their own right. I liked this sound simply for the opening two seconds of startup. I could turn the rest of it into a low-pitch rumble and throw all kinds of stuff on top. With a minute of sound, it's perfect for background and should be easy to loop if I want it longer.
