Clockwork motor

Whirr of a clock mechanism running out fast—the mechanism is broken so the gears spin much faster than they should. No ticking. I used it to create a sound effect for a model train set. Recorded in mono using a Tonor USB mic close to the mechanism. Edited to be smoothly loopable.

No attribution required, but I'd be interested to know if you use it. Share and enjoy!
