Here’s a little takeoff and landing sound from several aircraft at the ILM airport. I’ve always loved being at the airport and listening to these amazing machines leave the ground.

The list includes commercial and private aircraft.
Bombardier CRJ-900LR
Boeing 717
Embraer ERJ-145
Embraer E170SU
Airbus 319
Embraer Phenom 300

A couple of F-15 Fighter Jets from SJAFB flying over and eventually landing

A Marine Osprey moving overhead slowly

A few small instructor planes making multiple passes - Beech C-120-2 Huron and the Cirrus SR20

Runway sounds from a large aircraft

Two F-15E Strike Eagle flyover close up at ILM airport in NC. A training exercise.

It's always the sound after they fly by.

Two F-15E Strike Eagle flyover

I was standing outside and could smell the moisture in the air. Saw the clouds starting to form. Rain was definitely coming. I was on my way somewhere and made a decision to set up my gear in the car while parked. I didn’t want to record in the middle of the rain - I really wanted the build up. Waited about 20 minutes and the rain came in spurts. Then all at once.

I liked this library for the rain but more than that, I enjoyed the slow moving escalation to a middle area of constant deluge. The last couple of tracks show the loudest rain mixed with thunder and what feels like hail (no hail though). 

The car was really plush so no annoying noises from the rain hitting the roof. I sat still and really listened. THEN, the sun came out and temperature went from 88 degrees F at the start to 72 degrees F. 

Amazing sounds and hope you like. Thanks for listening and the support to grow what I do.

Listening to rain and thunder inside a car

Spent a few hours walking around Fort Fisher NC. Lots of rocks organized by the state parks. I was standing on the rocks and with the boom pole was able to capture waves crashing up and over the rocks. 

Fort Fisher is a small location and the staff there take pride in sharing what they know about the fort. There are quite a few artifacts onsite and I'm sure you can google images of the fort. If you go, don’t forget to walk behind the museum to the fort - it’s worth getting the perspective of what the soldiers were experiencing when ships approached. One of the bunkers is intact but not accessible. Meaning, you can’t open the door to go in.

The trees by the rocks are essentially at 45 degree angles caused by the wind. Cool view when the sun is shining directly over.

Sounds of the ocean crashing onto rocks - Fort Fisher

Sounds of workers polishing and grinding stone. It's tedious work and very loud. It's the historic courthouse magistrate building that sits on the Cape Fear River in Wilmington NC.

Full Description
Sounds of the work being done on the magistrate courthouse building along Cape Fear River in downtown Wilmington, NC. You can hear a stuck JLG boom lift trying to descend, workers using grinders on the exterior of the building and a lot of ambient sounds. All the windows are boarded up and I can’t imagine the magnitude of the work progressing inside. All the sounds in this album are from the outside. Workers are all subcontractors and talk/chat throughout some of the tracks. 

It’s a great indication of the scale of work and how much noise they are making. The uploaded files are minimally enhanced. It's a true stereo sound of the work being done.

Here's a quick sound of a JLG construction boom lift where the workers are trying hard to get it back to the ground - with no luck. Beeps are annoying to the people feeding the birds.

Quick recordings of a UPS driver stopping really fast to make a delivery. I liked the brakes squealing.

Squeaky brakes of UPS truck on a brick street

Quiet street after a nice rain. The drain from the roof runs down the building and collects along a makeshift gully to the street. Here are the sounds. You’ll hear a few cars drive by and mainly the water collecting in the drain area slowly as the leaves are completely covering the grate.

A boat leaving a dock on the Cape Fear River. Includes crew sounds and a horn as they are heaving off. The other tracks have different perspectives of the boat preparation.

I recorded a few workers pressure washing Grady White center console boats - Freedom 255 (25’), Canyon 326 (32’) and Fisherman 257 (25’) models at a local boatyard. The boats were placed in the bay and periodically moved to the service area.

Ambient noise throughout including forklift, birds, workers talking and vehicles driving by. Associated albums include the engine sounds and actual movement of the boats.

Library of recorded sounds at a park where children are playing during recess. They have just finished their lunch and 3 classes are ready to start playing at the public park. 

I enjoyed listening to all the ambient sounds along with close up interactions. Several tracks utilize binaural headphones in addition to the stereo recorder.
