Recording of a Canon photocopier working. At the end of the recording you can hear the paper tray lift, indicating that the process of photocopying is over. 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

I'm using it in a 9-to-5 themed Dungeons and Dragons' one shot for the podcast I run, Try Not to Die!

This is a stunningly good sound! I love it. It's pretty much the perfect 'photocopier sound'. Thanks so much for sharing this. I have used this sound effect in Release The Clowns Sketch Comedy Podcast Episode 50 in a parody of a Bill and Ted film (fully credited in the Show Notes, of course). Find it here
