Third Sound: Dump Truck Backing Up

I continued to walk North along the tracks, and stopped to capture the general sounds of the area. I began to realize that if I sat on the edge of the track, i could put my microphone heads on the ground to either side of me. The shelter of the metal rail surrounding the microphone helped to block the wind. There was construction on the west side of Duplainville Rd. and many bulldozers and dump trucks were moving earth into great piles. The trucks made quite a bit of commotion, especially when they backed up to dump out the gravel and dirt.

Listen to the truck backing up.

Here is a map of the site:


This is a photograph of my view (zoomed in) of the construction site from the railroad track:
