Aug 30, 2003 10:06 pm did you do this on a hard surface? maybe it would sound cooler without the 'click', but very cool. sounds like a reverb spring.
Here's a cool recording of a slinky.

So yeah, slinkys make weird noises and I recorded one.

Aug 31, 2003 05:44 am lol, stick some reverb on that and it sounds really spacy...jamie'd love this!

Sep 05, 2003 01:42 am open in wavelab. or soundforge. :-)
Sep 05, 2003 08:21 pm oh! mono 32bit! that would explain why media player choked on it.
WOW, what a cool sound. tell me more about how you mic'd this? i might have to make some of these myself.. how did you hold it and pluck or drop it? where was the mic and what kind? what kind of surface do i hear it hitting?
Sep 05, 2003 08:23 pm man..! if you loop certain parts of this wav, it sounds JUST like the lasers in old 70's space movies! (maybe star wars or something?) or maybe it's the transformers or g.i.joe cartoon lasers.... i can't place it, but somebody has used a spring like this to make laser sounds.
Sep 05, 2003 08:24 pm of course... lasers don't really make a sound... er, i'm rambling
Sep 05, 2003 08:29 pm LOL..in the Star Wars universe, lasers make sounds, even in the vaccum of space!
Sep 06, 2003 02:10 pm i had read that star wars laser sounds were made my hitting telephone pole support wires with a hammer. which totally makes sense. except for the part about there being no sound in space.
Sep 07, 2003 07:07 pm guys, there is no sound in space...
i realise that you know this, but i wanted to post soemthing in this thread...
Sep 07, 2003 08:30 pm Here's how I made the sound.
I stuck the end of the slinky in the grill of my PA speaker (slightly to the left of the center of the speaker), which was up on a stand. I stuck one of my condensers facing dead in on the speaker, only on the right of the center. Then I dropped the slinky onto the concrete floor.
Oh, and the star wars laser sound was exactly what I was going for. :)
