racoon rustle.wav

I have been hearing an animal or two beneath my bathtub for some time now. today I discovered who it was. Leaving my apartment building this afternoon, I saw a cat sized racoon carrying her baby under the walkway. I went back inside and set up a microphone aimed at the floor by my bathtub.

methodology: shure sm58 into focusrite and recorded via ableton. noise removed in audacity. I have a horrendous ground loop situation. in the future i may try to mic from below the apartment so that it isn't so muffled by the floor. Some noise comes from how much i had to amplify the signal to make it heard.
