Lisbon, Lisboa, Portugal

Recording of the squeaking sound produced by the movement of a movable pier due to the balance of the waves. This pier is located in Cais do Sodré docks in the Tagus river in Lisbon,Portugal. From this pier are usually departing boats from Soflusa or Transtejo to the south bank town Montijo.
This sound was recorded using a MZ-NH700 MD, via MIC-IN with a cheap condenser microphone.

Thanks so much for this, amabok. I've used it to set the tone for a scene in my podcast, The Saga of the European King. The characters are assembled in a shipyard, in Portugal no less, and this makes for a great backdrop.

I also used these boats very often, before there was a train in Lisbon's main bridge.
People have been known to fall off these boats when they dock. The impact is always impressive.

Nice recording, amabok ;-) (despite the cheap microphone)

I passed there often. It is pretty frightening when the boats dock. It looks like the bridge is ready to snap.
