Title: Got a somewhat old camera and a microphone?
Post by: StrangeClock on March 17, 2008, 06:11:13 PM
Thanks, Radiotube helped me out!

I'm in need of a fairly specific noise. On cameras from the 80s/early 90s abouts, the flash often had to charge up, and this was accompanied by a rising whine. This is the sound I'm looking for.

I found one sample on Sounddogs.com, but unfortunately it's really low quality, and that's very noticeable because the sound is so high-pitched. So if anyone has a camera like this, I would love you and give you secret kisses if you recorded it for me!

any similar sounding file of a high, rising whine would also be appreciated.

those shitty one use cameras do it, it's very quiet but you might be able to get it from one of those.

Oooohhh, I may have such a thing. I have this flash that has been above my cooker for ages. I'll try that later.

Direct linking might not work, but here.

I found it on Sounddogs by searching for "camera flash" and clicking "CAMERA, FLASH - ELECTRONIC FLASH: FLASH POP AND CHARGING WHINE".

I would, but I can't think of a movie that has it. Maybe a thriller with a crime scene that gets photographed... Se7en perhaps. I'd preferably have it completely without background sound though.

Maybe it's possibly to make it from scratch.

The Ghostbusters proton packs make a similar noise when they are switched on

I used to have an 80s detachable flash to one of my cameras... several years ago.

I knew I shouldn't have gotten rid of it. I always do this and then a need comes up later.

Are you referring to the sound towards the end of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Trailer when they start running. Around 1:17 in?

That's not quite it. But Radiotube's sent me some recordings, thanks!

I have an old-ass 80s camcorder. I should try hooking it up to one of my computers.
