The tape noise of a very old SONY EF90 cassette, from 1985, if I'm not mistaken. Line recorded, via an audio interface, from a portable cassete radio recorder Phillips AQ5150.

I certainly agree that modern recorders rule, but how rich this noise sounds.)))

Ironically, I opened freesound to find exactly this. Thanks!

Full of nostalgia !
But in terms of noise floor, I definitely prefer the current digital recorders ! ;-)
