Got a somewhat old camera and a microphone?

[StrangeClock]

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.

Rip it from a movie that uses it?

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

Post the bad sound file for reference.

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!

also sounds like when you power on the night vision goggles in css

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