Sounds that kids these days probably have never heard

[MongGrel]

I've heard and remember all those sounds.

Same, getting up there I guess.

a bit USA-specific, here the moka pot is the only machine people have at home and it was invented in 1933.

I've never heard the TV things and the flash cube.

Typewriters were still available enough when I was a kid, I even remember them being used in an office setting.

Oh the sound of corduroy pants rubbing together as one walks.

That's not the same as polyester and fat thighs? Swish, swish, swish....

I hear a percolator every morning, and sometimes again at night. Another sound you don't hear much anymore is jingle bells on an ice cream truck. All the ones I've heard in awhile have recorded music. As far as that goes, door bells in stores aren't around much anymore, but they still get shown in media, usually as a dramatic device.

Woah I had no idea auto record changers were a thing. Freaking kids and their technology. Back in my day you had to go change the record yourself! 😛 Actually I never really grew up much with records, I saw them in use here and there but in general it was mostly cassette tapes. I just thought of something, did they ever make cars with a record player? I can't see how that would work.

I totally forgot about those reel to reel projectors but remembered as soon as I saw it, and recalled how at the end of the movie the end would just flap around until it was stopped, and yep, it totally did it in the video. Man I feel old. I think those were only used for like the first few years of school though then TVs with VCRs were introduced. Small CRTs on a cart with the two dial buttons on the side. Eventually the bigger TVs were used too.

It's interesting to look back at the different tech and how it evolved over time.

Film loops were kind of fun.

I've heard them all. They're missing the sound of a mimeograph, the click of a view master and, the crack of a cap gun.

Yes they did. I've never seen one in person, but they did make them.

 

[IronWing]

The sound of an automatic seatbelt running up the door frame.

 

[ControlD]

How about the sound of a wooden paddle hitting a kid's ass? Nothing like that sound to get an entire hallway of kids to behave for a few hours. I'm pretty sure nobody is doing that anymore.

Yes they did. I've never seen one in person, but they did make them.

Awww was hoping for a dial up modem. I use it as an example in one of my classes and I always get blank stares 🙁

That's more common than people think because fax machines are still in wide use in offices.

Also, records are back in style big-time, so the record player sounds will probably be heard again. I think 5 records stores have opened around me in a 10 mile radius in the last year. There's nothing like the smell of hot vinyl from a stack of records 🙂

The sound of a Sawyer/Wards/GAF slide projector changing slides. Ditto for a Kodak slide projector changing slides.
