A Curious One: Obsolete Sounds
A small collection of disappearing historical sounds, mostly focusing on old tech of some kind. Weirdly immersive and melancholy, like parsing the detritus of a passing age. Engage in a little auditory archaeology; my personal favorite is “The lost sound of the split flap departure board.” For even more selections like this, visit Conserve the Sound.
