Trying to win a contest..What is this sound!!!!!!

[digitalduck]

Ok, Im trying to win a radio contest... I need to know what this sound is....I got through this morning and guessed and got it wrong, so for the next time i get through I need to know what this is!! I guess a cardboard box being opened with packagin tape on it... but that was wrong....

Sound Link

So far people have said:

horse,
record
typewriter
knucles
bubble wrap
phone line
stapler
hole puncher
clothes in the dryer

what is it?

Thanks!!

Sounds almost like a vacuum in the background...hmm. I have no idea..

 

[orakle]

popcorn popping

 

[Slick5150]

My guess was a stapler, but since you ruled that out, I have no idea.

 

[Cookie]

Sounds like when you pop bubble wrap

 

[Born2bwire]

Scissors cutting thick cardboard.

 

[sygyzy]

It's someone pulling velcro apart.

WTF are you guys listening to? It sounds to me like someone tapping on a microphone.

but it sounds like it has a definite pattern to it and after three beats there is a "swoosh" so I was thinking scissors cutting cardboard...hmm....also bubble wrap has been said...i need ot include that..

Thanks for all the responses!! Keep em coming!!

That's exactly what it sounded like to me as well.

 

[digitalduck]

Sounds logical, but 3.5 secs into it it doesnt sound like a mic could make that noise...it would be a good answer, but there is too much happening to make it seem like that was it..

I don't have sound on this PC but it's astounding to see the wildly different guesses for the same sound. I guess it's not very distinctive.

 

[jonks]

a seismic anomaly produced by a top secret russian nuclear submarine's silent propulsion "caterpillar" drive

 

[lytalbayre]

Sounds like some tapping on a cardboard box and tearing it open as well...

 

[waffleironhead]

stapler

 

[hunewbie]

a very loose rubix cube.

LOL..nice... from my understanding it is just one thing..not a combination of events on one item..its just something producing that sound...the dj might have slipped when she said "what is making that sound" but who knows..

 

[Cattlegod]

hole punch for sure.

 

[umbrella39]

The top of a corrugated box being torn off.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Its tearing a piece of cardboard

Nope...already guessed (see above) what else?

 

[digitalduck]

Update..they just said that my first guess was the best guess so far...not the right guests..but a gooood guess.. I said:

A cardboard box being opened up wiht packaging tape on it"

So it is something with cardboard...

Download the sound and play it back at 10x speed.
