Sen John Kerry beating his gavel to call a hearing to order. From C-Span, who also needs attribution in follow-on works. This "triple tap" was timed to make it sound like someone who is mad at the courtroom as each subsequent tap is slightly louder than the last.

@ELEEJC73 : flac is lossless and therefore better than MP3 while still compressing the filesize. don't be a dingleberry. use it or don't.

Good, but you should convert it to mp3 or wav. I had to do it after I downloaded it. But like I said it's good though.
