Ambiance

Response to a request for silence - http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5558#5558 - just too bizarre to be ignored! 10 seconds of blissful silence - and it's even loopable if you want it for longer! (Will anyone d/l it ... how about you Schulze?) And do give it a rating. Feb 07: Requested shorter versions, Silence1, Silence2, and Silence5 are now also on FS.

A repetition of silence 15 times and followed by sleighbells sample gave me enough time to get up the stairs and look as surprised as my son when Santa jingled past the window!
(I couldn't record silence myself, no mic recognised)

This is great. Thanks. I only needed a 1-second clip but this will do fine.
