Sound of a local construction site and a whole bunch of machines operating. I almost got hit in the head with a brick that fell off an excavator. Recorded with Zoom H4n. Please rate, comment and share. In case you download some of my sounds and use them in your audiovisual artwork, the only thing I ask from you is to let me know where and how they ended up. It would be a pleasure. Please feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions or suggestions. I really try to keep an open mind for everything. Thank you. Peace. Matt

Great, clean and crisp, good mixture of sounds, too. Thanks a lot! Using it as an intro for a guitar soundscape.

I am training teachers Gugulethu, South Africa this afternoon. We are going to use your sound in a Powerpoint slideshow about endangered species (cheetah habitat being destroyed by human activies like building & agriculture).
Thanks so much for sharing!
