Macro & Meso:
This is a single, distinct key press from a vintage typewriter. The sound is a sharp, dry "tick" with no discernible background noise.
Micro:
The audio captures the raw, pure acoustic signature of the typewriter's key action. The sound is unadorned by echo or subtle ambient tones, focusing entirely on the percussive, metallic sound of the key striking the paper platen.
Technical & Method:
This sound was recorded approximately 2 years ago using an iPhone 14 smartphone in a quiet office room. The audio was processed using Audacity to remove any ambient noise, ensuring a clean and isolated sound.
Source & Purpose:
The typewriter is a real, classic Brazilian model, similar to a well-known brand such as the Olivetti Lettera 22. The purpose of this recording was to capture and preserve the unique, distinct sound of an iconic mechanical device for use in sound design, Foley, and other creative projects.
