Our Sound Effects Archive.
We have also recorded some strange and bizarre sounds for our clients such as a blowhole from a secret cave on a headland near Torquay, clogs on setts and cobbles, an Egyptian temple musical instrument known as a sistrum,(we reconstructed the instrument too) crickets, railway locomotives, 18th century lead miners at work, and perhaps most bizarre a man taking a 'theurapeutic' cold bath at a spa! We are currently reconstructing the lost sound of 18th century throstle cotton spinning machine for one of our clients!
