Construction site and helicopter.
I made this recording in the city of Nanterre, located in the suburban area of Paris (France).
One can hear workers end their machines working on a construction site, while an helicopter is flying over. As there is a schoolyard on the left, one can also hear kids playing in the background.
Recorded in June 2024 with a Zoom H6essential (built-in XY microphones).
Fade in/out applied in Audacity.

You have a good hand at editing. The first rattle immediately arouses my attention. That's how I keep listening.

The balance between helicopter and the construction side is beautiful.

I could listen to this for hours.

Well done.
