Brussels Street Ambience

Schaerbeek, Brussels-Capital, Belgium

Listening to Brussels' streets at night. Cars passing, people shouting.

Recorded with Zoom H2 running on rechargeable batteries. Edited with Audacity.

There seems to be a heart beat-like artifact and I'm not sure what the source of it was. Perhaps the batteries are responsible? It was better on one of the two tracks, so I only uploaded the better one.

Hi qubodup,
About the rechargeable battery's;
I stopped using them because;
two normal bat = 3.0 - 3.2v power at start
two rechargeable one's = 2.4V power MAX
It could effect the performance of your mics and amplifier in the recorder.
Your work is to good for that. :-)
