In the audio titled "Hoisting Machine," the soundscape is dominated by the harsh, mechanical clamor of a hoisting machine in operation. The metallic cacophony suggests that the hoisting machine is dealing with metal waste, lifting and moving large chunks of it. The screeching of metal against metal is a constant undertone, punctuated by the heavier clangs and clanks of the waste being dropped or maneuvered. The audio was recorded in Rijeka, a bustling port city in Croatia. The ambient noise of the port filters through, the distant ebb and flow of waves, the occasional call of a sea bird, the low hum of passing ships, all subtly painting a picture of the busy maritime environment. The high quality of the recording, presumably captured with a high-end DPA 4017 microphone and a Sonosax SX-R4 recorder, ensures that every nuance of the soundscape is captured with impressive clarity.
