the sound of my old printer (epson
stylus 600) when i switch it on. it is broken and it makes strange and
amazing sounds, trying to clean the printhead and making other unknown
operations...
the low reverberation is produced by the printer plastic box.
listen, download, cut.

Yeah, I had an Epson like that; dang the sounds of doom are forever engraved in my brains. Mine started to sound while it was in the middle of something important to print Of course. It ruined the paper because it cut the paper horizontally in half ...
After that it only made the high pitched screeching sound and scared the cats away.
