Crane sound effects, mostly the steel kind. Overhead cranes groaning along their rails in factory halls, container cranes working a port, construction cranes over a building site. Lots of whine and clank. The bird is here too, on the wildlife side, but the big machines do most of the talking. Plenty of it comes with the space around it.

A crane on screen is rarely heard on its own. It lives inside a place, so a lot of the crane sound here comes as part of industrial ambience: a ship repair hall with an overhead crane moving above the metalwork, or a container terminal at a busy Port, with straddle carriers rolling past. On a building site the crane shares the air with an Excavator, hammers and trucks. Big and slow. These work as a bed that tells you where you are, with a close motor whine or a clunk cut on top when the crane is in shot. Docks, factories and cities under construction in films and games all lean on them.
