Description
This is an edit of a recording of a real Geiger-Müller-counter, detecting normal background radiation. The reading of the Geiger-Müller-Counter was averaging at around 0,13 µS/hour (read: "micro-sieverts per hour"). The recording was then cut into eight equal-length parts and overlayed with itself, to create the sound the Geiger-Müller-counter would produce when reading 1 µS/h. This reading would still not be dangerous but concerning.
The recording was taken with two small-diaphragm condenser microphones in XY-configuration. The recorded signal was processed with a noise gate, to eliminate background hiss. No further processing was applied.
