[Idea] Add new sounds #46

Closed haggen88 closed 3 years ago

haggen88 commented 4 years ago

I recently discovered Blanket. I think it is a very interesting app and perhaps the sound catalog could be expanded by including things like: -sound of waves -sound of birds -sound train [as in asoftmurmur / noisli / ambient-mixer ]

PS: Have you thought about improving the sound of Rain a little more? It usually looks more like a stream.

Before adding new sounds we should resolve #20 first. But I agree, those three would be nice additions.

Porrumentzio commented 3 years ago

Hi @haggen88! I totally agree with those sounds.

As noted at the end of #20, I proposed some specifications all sounds should have to be comfortable. I'm ready to have a hear to new sounds to make them more comfortable. Do you have any concrete soundclip? Would they be downloaded from the internet or recorded?

Ambient-mixer allows you to create scenarios using various sound clips. From here I take some references: https://harry-potter-sounds.ambient-mixer.com/storm-on-the-hogwarts-express https://relaxing.ambient-mixer.com/on-a-ship-at-sea https://wild-life.ambient-mixer.com/birds-in-a-field https://weather.ambient-mixer.com/the-perfect-storm

I'll analyze them some hours after. Are they all of free use?

We won't have problems with those licenses, as Blanket is already saying the authory of sounds.

I'll choose the more comfortable clips for me and adequate them to fit into the recommendations!

I did not find any suitable and free soundclip for Train. I successfully modified the other three!

@Porrumentzio At the moment I am looking for clips more suitable for the sound of the train, something like this: -https://podcast.ausha.co/asmr/relaxing-train-journey -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mFMXRWWffw

Something from inside the train where a subtle and periodic sound of the wheels can be perceived.

Porrumentzio commented 3 years ago

I downloaded, trimmed and analyzed the first audio (that from YouTube has copyright) and although I like its sound, that is what you described, I has a very low range. Due to that I think that it won't be comfortable for listening to it on long time.

This, for sure, is arguable, this is very subjective :smile: Thanks for your proposals @haggen88, they are very interesting, I'll try to fit the train sound :)

haggen88 commented 3 years ago

@Porrumentzio I found audios that may interest you. Both are licensed Creative Commons Sampling Plus 1.0. It is a license that is no longer promoted (was retired) ... but since CC licences are irrevocable, they must be used as they are.

I also found other sound clips that might work. I leave to your judgment:

Porrumentzio commented 3 years ago

Hey, what a great work! Thanks for explaining the license, and you know what? The first clip is simply perfect! I'll add it :)

haggen88 commented 3 years ago

@Porrumentzio Great!. Since the current sound of rain will be improved, I would not like that sensation of moving water to be lost. Would it be possible to add something like a stream ?. Here are some examples:

-https://freesound.org/people/INNORECORDS/sounds/469009/ [CC0 1.0] -https://freesound.org/people/gluckose/sounds/333987/ [CC0 1.0]

Porrumentzio commented 3 years ago

I analyzed them and they have an extremely tiny range, what is completely natural being a stream. If we add that sound, it should be on low volume, but I think it won't be very comfortable (it's very repetitive)

What do you think about that? Maybe also is me, that I'm more sensible to the range than others (this is very probable 😅)

rafaelmardojai commented 3 years ago

Yeah, is very repetitive, but I think someone who wants to hear to a stream wouldn't be disappointed since is how is supposed to sound.

Porrumentzio commented 3 years ago

For sure: some sounds are repetitive and monotonous and that's not bad. So lets add it?

haggen88 commented 3 years ago

@Porrumentzio Personally, I especially like it when combined with the sound of the birds, I leave it up to you.
