Is any one obsessed with a specific noise or noises

[TETSUO]

As the title really.

This is somthing i have been curious on for a while.

I have several key interestse... the main 2 are Cars and Weapons

For cars i get overly excited when i hear the engines and can even tell what the type is just by the sound... V6, V8, V10, V12 Turbo + Supercharger

They all seem to invoke a happy and excited feeling.

As for weapons its the sounds of the larger calibure guns and some explosives
.45 .50 Anti Tank, GAU-8, Thermo Barak.

Edit* I just thought of this when i submited the thread... i also have a few replica colt .45 and i love the noise they make when you cock them and release the slide forward.... I can spend hours doing this... its like a very crisp metalic clink noise, + the multipul clicks of the hammer locking in to place.

I know this sounds a bit starnge:wacko: but hey i have to ask

Yes, definitely.

I am suspecting myself of Asperger's. No diagnosis or whatever. Just normal but a little surprised at the symptoms for Asperger's. This is one of my obsessive interests.

I am obsessed with straight sixes. BMW's M20, M30, Nissan's RB26DETT, Toyota's 1JZ-GTE, 2JZ-GTE. Especially at the red line for the JZ series.
The induction noise of Ferrari and BMWs are amazing. Like the S14 on the M3 E30.

I can tell all engines. Down to manufacturer sometimes. The only thing I haven't yet been able to tell is twin-charging. It's a bit tricky. Then again not too many examples. You got Delta Integrale, Zenvo, and Ronin's exige. That's all I could find. Superchargers and turbochargers alone are obvious.

I am not strong on most guns. I like the damage it makes. I am more into youtube videos of explosives. Nuclear explosives. I used to watch the nuclear cannon quite frequently. The shockwave is really cool.

I like the shape of certain guns. Like Finnish Lahti Anti-Tank and AK-47.

There are lots of noises I love both in nature and man-made. I love having my bedroom window open at night when I can sometimes hear the distant and haunting hoots of an Owl in some woods about a quarter of a mile away. One type of sound that I have loved from a very young age is trains both when I'm travelling on one or from a distance. I used to sometimes take the train to London and spend a day travelling on the underground trains and buses just taking in the atmosphere of the place and watching and hearing life go by.

As someone who is into music, producing and sound engineering I'm always interested how sounds exists, how the waveform looks and if there's other stuff that makes the sound this specific unique sound.

Further down the line, I don't have any specific sounds right now, but from time to time something sticks it's head up. For a while it used to be wobble bass-es like they use in dubstep, it used to be artificial harmonics in a fair share of heavy metal music. Then it used to be some other "tools" to create such music, mostly techniques, but I liked the sound of it a lot.

I'm fascinated by how it works and all and I'll spend quite some time in recreating sounds, even if it is with the help of tutorials, just to see what element makes up what element in the sound. As such I love a program like Reaktor as well as Massive, which are both programs to "create" sounds.

We can't have guns around here, so there's no gunsound obsession with me. As for cars... I do like some cars by the sound of it, but I just don't run across a lot of "muscle cars" around here. A Prius makes a lousy sound, but I can detect that souped up Subaru Impreza from miles away.

When I was a kid, we got an electric organ for Christmas. I discovered by accident, 3 keys that if held down together made a wonderful harmonising sound.

Although I knew it was wierd to just listen to the harmonisation for ages without rest, I couldn't stop listening to it. It was mesmerizing.

I get 'locked into' the sound of my didgeridoo, and the rhythms created by circular breathing. It becomes timeless.

 

[AsheSkyler]

I like violin performances and similar synthesizer and electric keyboard sounds. Some are almost instantly calming.

 

[Randomperson]

Cat purring, it is just so soothing. Even the big cats you hear purring on animal planet and nat geo channels, so the kitty is big enough to eat me, who cares, listen to that soothing rumble!

I get 'locked into' the sound of my didgeridoo, and the rhythms created by circular breathing. It becomes timeless.

I love the sound that a didgeridoo makes. I'm a big fan of ambient music and listen to "Echos" on PBS radio. Some of that music has a didgeridoo in it and is almost spell binding.

I don't really have an obsession with sound, but I do love the sound of rain. I think a fair few people do too, as there's a website for people like us:

Rainy Mood

Play it as is, or while you're listening to relaxing music

Thanks Vanilla, another one to add to the collection. Rain and thunder helps me find sleep.

Question, does anyone else feel they're heart beating in they're chest when its quiet?
I don't mean a vein or pulsating sensation, I mean your actual heart beating.

 

[Judge]

Totally. Any sustained low frequency under 100 hz (outside of listening to my music) can drive me nuts. And now I have come to the conclusion that I have tinnitus.....constant ringing in my right ear- even in relative silence.

What next?

I still use my clock radio's ambient rain sounds to sleep by though.

 

[Daniel I Russell]

Very unoriginal, but rain. It makes me very, very sleepy. We have one of those sound/light machines for the baby's room next door and it's the best thing we ever got. I'm out like a light every night!

My sound thing is more the opposite. When my kids are being noisy and the tv is too loud, it feels like an angry swarm of bees in my head and I have to get the hell out of there!

 

[Harrison]

I love the raw Schumann resonance, I listen to it as I sleep and use it as background sound when I play the didje.

 

[Jimbo]

I love the sound of the cars at a NASCAR race. I live here in N.C. which is sort of the NASCAR mecca. I also love to go to the air force base when they do air shows and listen to the fighter jets. The sound of a Harrier jump jet taking off straight up is deafening.
