Help me identify this sound and I can win £5000 for my emigration to America and wedding to Tegan! (Yes, you will get a cut).
Sounds like two metallic objects hitting each other. The high pitch suggests a small object. Newton's kinetic sculpture? A bunch of metal balls in a line. Hmm, that was guessed already. There are three noises in the clip. The first is something like two small metal balls hitting each other. The second sounds like a small relay being thrown. The last tinny sound definitely has an echo, as if a small metal ribbon is hitting something, then it bounces around a little. Also, I wish you both the utmost happiness.
. . . I'm not good with sounds. o.o It sounded like a can being opened. SOOOOO. I prob can't help. BUT I CAN GIVE WHAT I HEAR. XD EITHER WAY.~ I am so in awe by how wonderfully awesome you two are together!! :D I support this!! I will try to listen each time and help.. Even if I'm totally wrong.^^ yayyyyyyyyyyy
The first part of the sound actually sounds like bubble wrap to me, the last parts like something bound dropping into a receptacle. Sorry! Or maybe the cracking of a pay phone as you put the coin into it before the dial tone?
But you see Asmo that's the genious behind the sound. :) If I'm wrong I'll totally donate 20$ to the cause. And hell if my next check is big enough a full 100$.
First impression was a needle handling on a record. Two glass marbles clacking together? Rory's pencil is also likely.
laawl. I keep coming back, because when topics are in bold, it annoys me, so I look at them to get the bold away. And I thought the 'cut' said 'cat' so I was like I GET A CAT IF I ANSWER THIS. WHAAAA. YESSSS. and then . . . :'< ohwait..
Yes, I will buy you a cat if you help me answer this. Also... they released a clue on the radio today: "WE WANT TO POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION"
Something about that sound reminds me of this. Not so much the actual noise, but the motion/action of the device. maybe it'll help you figure it out?
The last part sounds like the battle ship parts when you drop them into the plastic holders. O-o ........................................................................................................................................................
You guys... ;_; *moved to awkward half-hugs* Thank you Piro, but Asmo and I would never ask Iwaku members for THEIR hard earned and/or ill-begotten money. Only that of the good people of Pirate FM. Right, Asmo? *elbows Asmo in the ribs* (Also, mechanical pencil sounds totally legit.)
I still maintain it's something metal or at least sturdy, to create that noise. Especially the last part, it sounds like a hinge to me, one that is dropped and settles. The first part sounds like a latch or something simple and mechanical. The middle noise is the most difficult for me to identify, I can't entirely place my finger on it. Sorry I can't help more than that, folks. Best of luck, Asmodeus and Tegan.
How about some sort of spring loaded mechanism? Perhaps a needle is released from a catch and then bounces back into position. Clockwork? Related to a compass type mechanism? Some sort of analog measuring device with a needle? .. An egg timer?
Clicking of a pen and letting the point drop back in! Like click the ball-point pen down and when you go to put it away click it upside down and the pointy part will drop back in... That's my guess!
