Receiver Sound Effects

Receiver sound effects, from the phone handset to the radio set. On the phone side, receivers get picked up and slammed down on old wall phones with crank handles, rotary phones both whole and in pieces and plain push button phones. The radio side is shortwave static and fading stations, with military transmissions breaking through. Very different kit.

A phone receiver is mostly handling. The rotary phone was recorded with different microphones and in various states of assembly, so the clicks and switches are there as well as the receiver going up and down, and the old wall phone adds handle rotations and bells. Push button phones cover every number button along with some rough treatment. For the end of the call, Hangup has more. The radio kind of receiver is a different animal, with shortwave whine and foreign voices drifting in and out of atmospheric noise, which suits spy films and wartime bunkers.
