Work Sound Effects

Work sound effects for tools under load and towns going about their day. On the tool side, a clearing saw and a grass trimmer recorded idling and cutting, from several positions, plus jackhammers heard direct and through concrete walls. Proper graft. On the street side, voices and bells drift up to an upstairs window while a town gets to work.

In small engine recordings, work means the tool under load, cutting rather than just revving, and it's the part that sells a Gardening scene. The clearing saw and trimmer libraries record it next to idles, blips, ramps and steady revs, with project sessions included, so the Throttle can follow the action on screen. The jackhammer recordings come from a real underground site. Some sit right on the tool and some come through the concrete, which suits a building job heard from the flat next door. The street recordings, made from above, carry the background of a working day, with traffic, voices and distant bells.
