This audio file titled "FluorescentLightRecording_April22_1990.m4a" captures the unique and distinct hum of a fluorescent light. It begins with the flick of a switch, followed by the soft buzzing sound of the fluorescent light coming to life, with a slight crackle that's characteristic of such lights. Gradually, the hum becomes steady, creating an almost rhythmic, ambient background noise. There's an occasional flutter, like a heartbeat, as the light fluctuates in intensity. The sound effect or SFX captured in this recording is a testament to the everyday symphony of mundane objects around us. Towards the end, there's a distinct click as the light is turned off, bringing the symphony to a close. From start to finish, the recording is a perfect representation of the auditory experience of a fluorescent light, captured in the spring of 1990.
