A close up recording of an overheating USB slot-loading CD/DVD drive that repeatedly tries to spin up, but fails and makes some clicking noises.
Note on low frequency sounds: I recorded this with a Zoom H1n recorder at about 2cm distance from the drive slot. I held the recorder in my hand and rested my hand on the surface the CD drive was resting on, so there is somewhat of a mechanical connection between the drive's vibrations and the recorder. I believe this led to the low frequency parts of the recording.
About halfway through the recording, I lifted the drive up with my other hand and held it at a 30degree angle to the surface and recorder. As you can hear in the recording, this made it spin up a little longer before failing and spinning back down.

This is great. I'm not sure where I'm going to use it but will find somewhere in my solo indie game project set in a post apocalyptic bunker :-) Thanks!

Thanks SiriusBizdness. I think with some editing it might fit well for a robot that drives around and picks things up/changes direction repeatedly.
