Fog horn medley 1, 2017
Can you still hear foghorns in the towns of Essex? Yes, you can.
This first part is from Leigh-on-Sea, around about The Elms. You hear a foghorn from an anchored ship which must be 2+ miles distant, you can also hear back garden life, bird song and domestic chickens.
The photo is from The London Road, you could still hear it from there but a recording would pick up a lot of traffic noise as well, and that’s more or less constant.
Recorded about 4pm.
You can also listen to the second and third parts of the medley.

That’s a small Metamec mantle clock, doesn’t actually keep good time anymore because the hands slip but part of the reason for having it is hearing it tick tick away. It’s all sound after all.
There’s also a sound like a ticking clock. What was that?
