Raw audio of walking past a car with its alarm/horn going off. The car had malfunctioned and the owner was desperately trying to turn it off - might as well make the most of it and record it! The recording starts about 10m away from the car, approaching as close as 1m before moving away again, at which point the recorder was pointed forwards as opposed to the car. The owner did eventually shut it off about 10s after the recording ends, so you can sleep well tonight.

Thanks InspectorJ, this is great. Will be using it in the sound design for a recording of a poem.
