Pipe Sound Effects

Pipe sound effects, mostly the metal kind. Pipes struck and dropped. Water gurgles and knocks its way through old plumbing while a factory cooling system hums and trickles away somewhere in the background. Wind moaning through metal tubes makes some very eerie tones. The other pipe gets a look in too, packed with tobacco and puffed on.

A metal pipe is a great sound source because it rings. Hit a pipe and you get a clang with a long, shimmering tail, and its length sets the pitch. Horror and industrial scenes use that, and contact mic recordings bring out tones you'd never hear in the room. Factory pipework hums, which gives a Boiler room its constant drone, and a Valve squeal on top gets you halfway to a submarine. Plumbing is the other big use, with water knocking and gurgling through the walls of an old building.
