Re: Museum of Endangered Sounds
#2Nice. Some of the sounds didn't seem to work (like the typewriter).
I have a similar idea jotted down on my things-to-make list :) My idea is to create a library of sounds that are part of our daily life today, not necessarily things that have disappeared or are rapidly disappearing. Like a shutterstock of sounds :)

#5This made me think of Bernie Kraus's work: http://www.wildsanctuary.com
He goes to remote natural areas and records what they sound like. It's relaxing and can be fun atmospheric sound to listen to.

#6Nice. Hearing the dialup sound got me nostalgic and I found this site, which was intensely satisfying:

#7That was fun, although several were not quite like the ones in my memory.
One of the sounds that I'd like to hear again is that little triple "dit" you would hear on a radio when a cell phone was nearby. I never knew exactly how it was made -- undoubtedly the network saying hello to the phone -- or what that sound was called.

#8Great idea! Bookmarked and eager to hear what new sounds are added in the future. I've got a similar idea for a 'video game systems and computers of yore sound museum' which so far includes several years worth of sound rips and snippets from the TI-99 4a, Atari 2600, Intellivision, Commodore 64 and many arcade games. Not too sure about the legality regarding copyright issues or fair use, though.
