Guess This Noise #5

02007-02-28 | Sound | 20 comments

Courtesy of Canton comes this new noise. Yes, I need to figure out what the winner should get and I owe something to the last winner, Marla. I’ll think of something – send me an email.

No photo of this noise.
Ottmar: The sound is air escaping from a balloon, yes?
Canton: Yes exactly. I think the technical term is “balloon fart”.

    I tried a carrot in a food processor, but no. More like a wood chipper when I have it way loud. Surely that’s it!

    The first two thing that comes to mind are either an exhaust pipe, or an expulsion of air. I’ll have to listen to it again later….

    my first thought was an old rotary phone too but it’s not quite sounding like the one i have- sounded like there was more air involved as well as something mechanical that is restting itself- maybe a rubber baloon attached to a rotary phone?…haha

    it sounds familiar…

    Rotary phone? That could be it. I wish I still had one around.

    I thought balloon too but it sounds more mechanical to me…maybe one of those vertical wheels you spin to win a prize?

    Hearing the sound again, makes me think of something fan forced, possible a fan motor starting up.

    It is a spring type door stop being “sprung”. Used to love that as a kid.

    I’m probably totally off…but it sounds like the “rattle snake eggs” joke with the rubber band is twisted in an envelope and when you let go it rattles…sounds kind of like that.

    I hope it is ok to guess twice. I used to also make a sound like that by holding a ruler over the edge of a desk and flipping the overhanging part. As it is vibrating, you can lengthen and shorten the overhang to change the vibration speed.

    Snow Blower; Leaf Blower; Lawn Mower – sound like the motor starting up!
