This audio file, titled "ZoomH6XY Recording of Elevator Door Opening Dated November 6, 2013", captures an indoor soundscape at a university campus, specifically at Leuphana University in Lueneburg. The main focus of the recording is the sound of an elevator door, an everyday yet distinctive noise that can be heard echoing within the confines of the building. The audio file begins with the soft hum of the elevator in motion, followed by the mechanical clunk and whir as the elevator reaches its designated floor. Then comes the star of the show - the sound of the elevator doors sliding open. It's a metallic, grating sound, a sound unique to this type of machinery. The audio ends with the faint echo of the doors closing, leaving behind an almost eerie silence. It's a simple yet immersive soundscape, capturing a mundane moment in university life with a surprising amount of detail.
