That is interesting. Ever try to analyse what proportion of infrasound is present? I know you cant really hear it but you do sense and react to a certain amount of it. Get out and record a thunderstorm sometime.

Oh I've done that a lot, in fact a couple nights ago. I don't have any photographs to go with it so I haven't used it in a video, but my 10" subwoofer shakes the house when the thunder hits.
Here's a test out of curiosity, click this: rain/thunder
It was a mild-mannered storm, no loud crashes, but a good test. So the mics I am using pickup sound flat all the way to 4 Hz. This is unusual for most microphones, and there's a lot of other stuff going on with regard to distance to the source, directionality of the microphone, etc. that is just not really appropriate for this forum but if you are interested, research low-frequency response of cardioid vs. omni microphones and you can read all about it.
Thats a nice clip, has a lot of presence to it. Close your eyes and you can feel the environment around you.
Bryan, I trust you do know what you are doing with sound.
I fiddle about with recording, but my tinnitus is so astoundingly loud I cannot stand silence. I listen to music or spoken world 24/7 365. I use classical to sleep to and perhaps folk by day.
My shed is very quiet, no drywall, just sound traps. I need to fix my music system in there.
Yet walking in woods, I do hear birds, frogs and wind in the trees. A woods is never silent.
Water does make interesting music.
The roar of ocean waves crashing on rock or beach is very relaxing.
Keep at this project.
I know you will!
Tin Can
Thanks Randy. I feel your pain - I went partially deaf in high school due to a viral infection in my right ear. I have tinnitus in that ear but it mostly doesn't bother me unless I focus on it.
Indeed, walking in the woods, I try to be aware of the symphony of sounds. I recorded some in my backyard earlier today and heard some fascinating birds later which are shy when I am around (I went back inside for a half-hour while it was recording). Didn't get any today, but I also love the woodpecker sounds we hear occasionally in the morning or evening.
Amazing! I have thought of doing the same thing for a while now!!
