FIELD SITE EVENTS Event 1 listen HERE 5th Ward train track bridge and tunnel - 10/8 at 6pm Zoom H6 with Mid-Side capsule - volume level 8 - static recorder A mostly barren section of a five-way intersection was meet with three cars at once.

Mobile capture, the mic was slowly angled upward towards the blades of the turbine near the end of the recording.   Recording 2 listen HERE Rolling Hills Wind Farm - Massena, Iowa 9/30/17 - 5:30pm Zoom H6 - MS capsule Same wind conditions as recording 1, this recording is backed up quite a bit from the same wind turbine with tall stalks of corn on both sides which seemed to aid in wind reduction. Lots of insect chatter as well as corn leaves brushing against one another from the wind. Stationary recording pointing towards the wind turbine.
