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.

did you use this on a video? I recently watched a video on Vimeo.com that I could swear had this same sound. Or maybe someone used it for their video. Either way the video came out really cool. Great job with the sound !
