A jackhammer rarely works alone in a scene, so most of the recordings here put it inside a working Construction Site. The urban yard recordings run it alongside excavators and site atmosphere, and the ambience loops add generators and traffic, with perspectives from nearfield out to distant for layering a street at any depth. Demolition libraries take it further, with raw machinery and structural collapse from hospital and residential sites. The standalone jackhammer recordings are the ones for close work. Some were captured right at the drill, others through Concrete walls underground, and the difference makes it easy to place the noise in or out of the room.
