Tires on Gravel Road 1

Sound effects > Natural elements and explosions

Recording of the tires of a flat bed trailer going over a gravel path. This was from a hayride where I was sitting in the back with a bunch of kids being pulled by the tractor. Recorder was just a couple of feet from the wheel so most of the kids noises and even the tractor engine get drowned out, but still somewhat audible in spots. There are two recordings, one taken from the side with the mic at the wheel and one with the mic under the trailer while recording. (This is the one with the recorder off to the side.)

The sound could also (maybe) be used to mimic a hailstorm.

Recorded with a Sony ICD-PX312
