Accident : car and motorcycle crash.
It happened a few minutes after a fireworks I’ve recorded earlier, and the recorder was still running. Streets were wet and slippery. Te motorcycle was coming from the left, the car from the street on its right, and they impacted just at the cross street. Hopefully, the biker was only slightly injured, but it could have been really worse.
Recorded from my balcony in July 2024 with an Olympus LS-P4 and Immersive Soundscapes EarSight Nano microphones in AB position (about 40cm).
Fade in/out and high pass filter at 60Hz -6dB/oct applied in Audacity.
(If you want to use this sound as a mono audio file, you may have to delete one channel to avoid phase issues).

No, not really ! Just a distracted or optimistic biker who seemed to expect that the woman driving the car coming from the street on the right would stop, which, of course, didn’t happen because she had priority.

Delicious! Fans of driving through narrow streets?
