# Game sound recordings ## Lombok leaf fans, local preview, 2026-09-21 Reuses the unchanged CC0 pohnpei-leaves.ogg recording credited below. A single quiet excerpt, capped at 0.9 seconds and gain 0.16, accompanies each fan action. It is handling foley, not a field recording from Lombok. No butterfly sound. No new audio asset or licensing change. ## Mauritius frame-drum activity, 2026-09-15 - `mauritius-frame-drum.mp3`: cabled_mess, [Frame drum_oneshot_RAW_10.wav](https://freesound.org/people/cabled_mess/sounds/345630/), published 11 May 2016. The creator describes a simple frame drum recorded with a Rode NT5 microphone and Zoom H5 recorder. The sound page offers [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/). - The unchanged public HQ MP3 preview was downloaded from `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/345/345630_5450487-hq.mp3`. SHA-256: `780c50a82558f8bd7f0f25ccabbf5c97566f8156918e9fce667e4fb2372bcc1d`. - Runtime playback skips quiet pre-hit samples, takes up to 0.42 seconds at original speed/pitch, adjusts gain and fades the last 55 ms. Five hits form distinct short phrases for the two instruments. Cancellation stops all voices; late loading never schedules a delayed strike. Reduced motion is silent. - This is frame-drum foley for a playful activity, not a field recording of a Mauritian ravanne, a traditional Sega performance or the collection location. Subjective listening remains a user review item. ## São Tomé leaf encounter and snail ride, 2026-09-13 Reuses the unchanged CC0 `pohnpei-leaves.ogg` recording credited below. Original-speed excerpts accompany the lifted/lowered leaf and short movement over forest litter. Leaf excerpts are 0.7 and 0.5 seconds, at peak targets 0.07 and 0.055. Boarding and climbing-off excerpts are 0.55 and 0.5 seconds, at peak targets 0.06 and 0.055. Short fades bound each cue, and only one voice plays. This is handling foley, not an animal call or recording from the collection site. Loading begins after a gesture. Cancelling the action stops sound, late decode results cannot start playback, and reduced-motion presentation remains silent. No new audio file or additional required public attribution is introduced. Subjective listening and Safari playback remain manual checks. ## Pohnpei birdwatching and leaf sled, 2026-09-13 - `pohnpei-lorikeet.mp3`: [Pohnpei lorikeet call, Todd Mark, XC75751](https://xeno-canto.org/75751). Recorded in October 2008 at The Village Eco-Lodge, Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia. The recording identifies the species and call, not a call recorded at the QG4739 collection spot. Licensed [CC BY-NC-SA 3.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/). Downloaded unchanged from `https://xeno-canto.org/sounds/uploaded/CLKPHLYUHA/trichoglossus2village.mp3`. 479372 bytes. SHA-256 `ccd3d0e743dbe4cfdd7aed36d085fecc0f11eaaa7546c4d46faa92b86cbf2be4`. The 0.3 to 3.1 second playback excerpt uses level adjustment and short fades, retaining original pitch and speed. This adaptation is also CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Public attribution links to the recording and licence in the Game's sources. - `pohnpei-leaves.ogg`: [Random Sounds Samples, Brandon Morris (Augmentality), posted by HaelDB](https://opengameart.org/content/random-sounds-samples). The creator describes microphone-recorded sounds. The selected file is `moving leaves stereo.ogg`, downloaded unchanged from `https://opengameart.org/sites/default/files/moving%20leaves%20stereo.ogg`. Used under the offered [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/) option. 22317 bytes. SHA-256 `678c0da00ef1092f4be7c2d8c7b22c1c91c5fc8ca1f3f9570ce59de995c0138c`. Short original-speed excerpts accompany boarding, sliding and stopping. Audio loads after a user gesture. One bounded foreground voice is active at a time. Cancellation stops playback, including late decode results. There is no ambient loop, pitch alteration or synthetic bird call. Subjective listening and Safari playback remain manual checks. ## Lombok fig hide-and-seek and splashing pool, approved 2026-09-12 - `lombok-splash.wav`: [Splash, small #6, Joseph SARDIN, BigSoundBank 1534](https://bigsoundbank.com/splash-small-6-s1534.html). A small stone splashing into a pond, recorded outdoors. CC0 verified on the creator's page. Downloaded unchanged from `https://bigsoundbank.com/UPLOAD/bwf-en/1534.wav`. 181508 bytes. SHA-256 `abc547867935109ae7e91e6d0b43f27b2427e749e4b90932532f1f57b8959c82`. Played at original pitch and speed. The revised shared-pool sequence uses gains 0.14 for the head dip, 0.22 for the female's splash and 0.18 for the male's reply, at 1500, 2760 and 4060 ms. No synthetic splash layer. - Fig movement reuses the existing CC0 `reunion-peel.wav` at gain 0.42. Source and preparation are recorded in the Saint-Benoît section below. This is fruit-skin handling foley, not a recording of a fig opening itself. Audio loads after a tap or keyboard gesture. One action and one foreground voice at a time, with cancellation on dragging, resizing, Home, Escape, scene change, page hiding and reduced-motion changes. No background loop or synth. The user approved the final Lombok preview and requested deployment on 2026-09-12. ## Canberra coffee and sulphur-crested cockatoo, 2026-09-09 Both recordings are CC0, verified on their Freesound creator pages. The public HQ previews are preserved byte-for-byte as the production MP3s. - [coffee slurp 4 by benkenart, Freesound 568036](https://freesound.org/people/benkenart/sounds/568036/), published 2021-04-14. A real person slurping coffee from a cup. Public source: `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/568/568036_12771108-hq.mp3`. File: `canberra-coffee-slurp.mp3`, 18261 bytes. SHA-256: `5c3ec26e873b4e86162576643ff9d47a1bef9ceaab8badbb8e03fdf4a193cfc0`. Playback excerpt: 0.150 to 0.670 s, starting 836 ms into the sip when the cup reaches the mouth. The male has biscuits, so his eating gesture has no slurp. - [Parrots - Sulfur-crested Cockatoo by TheKingOfGeeks360, Freesound 844340](https://freesound.org/people/TheKingOfGeeks360/sounds/844340/), published 2026-02-06. The creator identifies an actual sulphur-crested cockatoo's screeching squawk, recorded with an LG Stylus 2022. The recording is tagged aviary. Public source: `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/844/844340_15895934-hq.mp3`. File: `canberra-cockatoo.mp3`, 35520 bytes. SHA-256: `1ffb49ee61f8fc7c3ddc354a1607b6f2a4337280a0bc561411ea4c624d453a01`. Playback excerpt: 0.020 to 1.340 s, starting 80 ms into either bird's raid. The species is correct for the Canberra drawing. This is not a documented food-stealing call or a recording made in Canberra. Cockatoo contact calls occur in flight, while different calls have other contexts. See [Gillies and Brown, Australian Journal of Zoology, DOI 10.1071/ZO23043](https://www.publish.csiro.au/ZO/pdf/ZO23043). The human slurp is playful drinking foley for the worm, not a nematode recording. The browser decodes each clip only after a user gesture. Original speed and pitch are preserved, without looping, synthesis, EQ or overlapping calls. Excerpt peak amplitudes are capped at 0.32 for the slurp and 0.38 for the bird, with 12 ms attack and 55 ms release fades. One foreground voice is stopped by interruption, Escape, Home, scene change, page hiding or reduced-motion change. Reduced-motion mode skips the sound. Failed audio loading falls back silently. The approved drawings, text, positions and action timelines are unchanged. ## Kauaʻi fuller pours and wet squeeze, approved for deployment 2026-09-09 Two real recordings by Joseph SARDIN, published as CC0 on BigSoundBank: - [Cold Water in a Mug #2, recording 3314](https://bigsoundbank.com/cold-water-in-a-mug-2-s3314.html). Water poured into a mug. Original WAV: `https://bigsoundbank.com/UPLOAD/bwf-en/3314.wav`. - [Sponge and foam, recording 0778](https://bigsoundbank.com/sponge-and-foam-s0778.html). A foamy sponge compressed in a hand. Original WAV: `https://bigsoundbank.com/UPLOAD/bwf-en/0778.wav`. | Production file | Source excerpt start | Duration | SHA-256 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `kauai-bath-pour-v2.wav` | 3314, 0.350 s | 1.900 s | `50a76447a1efaf0191cfe16e74ec25b2e85eda3e85bf623fa8b174bd92231bbf` | | `kauai-bath-scoop.wav` | 3314, 2.250 s | 1.550 s | `e8612a61fbdee9d3d1b96313655ddb22d785a25dee9a3f7d74416af41967abaa` | | `kauai-bath-squeeze.wav` | 0778, 0.400 s | 0.640 s | `7402a8cba56ead7ecbcbfc7d64e0521ccb7ddec5c7dfbec6a7ac09ad44cab94c` | PCM excerpts are DC-centred, resampled to mono 44100 Hz PCM16, and faded with 12 ms attack and 70 ms release. Peaks are 0.48, 0.42 and 0.40 respectively. No synthesis, pitch shifting or looping. The pour starts with the visible stream, and each of two cone compressions plays one short squeeze. These are water and sponge foley used for the fictional forest bath. They are not recordings of water striking a worm or of shampoo ginger being squeezed. The original water/drip files below are preserved but replaced in the runtime by these excerpts. The existing cloth clip is unchanged. One foreground voice, gesture-only lazy loading and cancellation remain in place. Source recordings and the preparation script stay in ignored `tmp/kauai-bath/`. Martyna approved deployment of this update. ## Kauaʻi QG130 forest bath, approved for deployment 2026-09-09 Real recordings by Joseph SARDIN, released under CC0 on BigSoundBank. - [Glass of water, filling #1, recording 1242](https://bigsoundbank.com/glass-of-water-filling-1-s1242.html). A plastic bottle filling a small glass. Source WAV: `https://bigsoundbank.com/UPLOAD/bwf-en/1242.wav`. - [Cleaning glass, recording 0689](https://bigsoundbank.com/cleaning-glass-s0689.html). Cloth friction used as quiet wiping foley. Source WAV: `https://bigsoundbank.com/UPLOAD/bwf-en/0689.wav`. | Production file | Source excerpt | Duration | SHA-256 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `kauai-bath-pour.wav` | 1242, 0.600 s | 1.400 s | `695e17ddc2b047c60d1e6044648aac0d5d8e3534d406a980d15de94d1fd699c0` | | `kauai-bath-drip.wav` | 1242, 3.000 s | 0.500 s | `9ec4826779b34f1d496a3aece962dde83342f74dc73f0a5c87b01b191f1503cb` | | `kauai-bath-cloth.wav` | 0689, 4.200 s | 0.620 s | `4de33d618958a437193aba239eef781c544b56a0eab7215a3364c61c2cf12ed3` | Original PCM recordings were excerpted, DC-centred and converted to mono 44100 Hz PCM16 WAV. Linear 14 ms attack and 50 ms release fades. Peak amplitudes are 0.38, 0.26 and 0.30 respectively. No synthesis, looping or pitch shifting. These are water and cloth foley, not a field recording of shampoo ginger use. Only one foreground voice plays, following a tap or keyboard gesture. Hiding the page, stopping an action or changing the scene stops it. Listening approval is still required. Source files and preparation script stay in ignored `tmp/`. ## Saint-Benoît rain, coats and lychees Approved for deployment 2026-09-09. All four new recordings are CC0, verified on the creators' source pages. No synthesised rain, chimes or cartoon bite sounds. - [Rain and Thunder #1, Joseph SARDIN, BigSoundBank 0124](https://bigsoundbank.com/rain-and-storm-s0124.html). Original WAV: `https://bigsoundbank.com/UPLOAD/bwf-en/0124.wav`. SHA-256 `d37affc216bd76b5f1964fbafacb19644ac057b00a099d96dff061ec2b5a2643`. Extract 1.000–12.000 s, excluding the thunder identified at the end of the 43-second source. Mono downmix at 44100 Hz. Equal-power 0.5 s end/start overlap produces a seamless 10.5 s PCM16 loop. Peak 0.5, playback gain 0.32, ducked to 0.12 during a foreground action. Gain rises gradually on starting the rain. - [Synthetic Coat Rubbed, Joseph SARDIN, BigSoundBank 1104](https://bigsoundbank.com/synthetic-coat-rubbed-s1104.html). Original WAV: `https://bigsoundbank.com/UPLOAD/bwf-en/1104.wav`. SHA-256 `83083dc075bac4a17955604f096dd07db40a048cd3ea1ab0aebdd84e93d17ef6`. Extract 1.700–2.500 s. Actual synthetic-coat handling, used quietly as the raincoats are enabled. Resampled to mono 44100 Hz PCM16, peak 0.28. - [Peeling a tangerine, MeanRaccoon, Freesound 818126](https://freesound.org/people/MeanRaccoon/sounds/818126/). Original public HQ preview: `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/818/818126_10956972-hq.mp3`. SHA-256 `4095205a6a70c207c0cbd97da4dc2fdaef1ca8a8adeecf21eef46b5d9831f44f`. Extract 2.000–2.650 s after decoding with the existing local FFmpeg. This is fruit-skin peeling foley, not a lychee-specific recording. Mono 44100 Hz PCM16, peak 0.32, two quiet cues aligned to visible peel separation. - [Banana Munching, qubodup, Freesound 181723](https://freesound.org/people/qubodup/sounds/181723/). CC0. Public HQ preview: `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/181/181723_71257-hq.mp3`. Source SHA-256 `045c7bd1a07d4de280b1bcdbf47ec8b613b20e513b68e46fe856a01609301a91`. Extract 6.180–6.840 s of a real soft-fruit eating recording, used as lychee eating foley. This is not an actual lychee recording. Decoded to mono 44100 Hz PCM16, DC removed, 12 ms/65 ms endpoint fades, peak 0.28. Playback gain 0.56 for the larger worm and 0.48 for the male. One short cue begins with the visible bite at 2790/2940 ms. No pitch shifting, looping, reverb or generated tones. Waveform and playback timing were checked. Direct listening remains manual. Coat and peel excerpts have DC removed and short 8 ms/45 ms endpoint fades. Flower arranging reuses `nambucca-paper-slide.wav`, documented below, only while the male's wrapping paper lifts and settles. This is paper, not plant-stem audio.

Late loads do not restart cancelled rain. One foreground voice and one rain loop may coexist. Scene changes, hidden pages and reduced-motion changes stop both. No inference of rain on the collection date. ## Ahmedabad digging Source: [Dig With a Shovel, Joseph SARDIN, BigSoundBank 1305](https://bigsoundbank.com/dig-with-a-shovel-s1305.html). The creator describes digging a hole with a shovel. The page's CC0 licence, including permission to edit and redistribute, was checked on 2026-09-08. Original WAV linked in the page metadata: `https://bigsoundbank.com/UPLOAD/bwf-en/1305.wav`. SHA-256: `034fc52802ec109897c75da84e246fae88d2671192fee610aafe86d8bf0a48bd`. Three separate excerpts provide one spade stroke and two shorter trowel strokes. All originate from a real full-size shovel recording, with no pitch shift, synthetic layers, loops or added reverberation. The smaller-tool excerpts use shorter takes and quieter playback. | Production file | Source start | Duration | Peak | SHA-256 | | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- | | `ahmedabad-dig-spade.wav` | 3.330 s | 0.650 s | 0.36 | `55c946c597247c1c510107cbbd46a78e1539dc43984d7d058f9608c668acf4e6` | | `ahmedabad-dig-trowel-1.wav` | 0.190 s | 0.350 s | 0.29 | `74115940afb485318275102791482dca3b34a99df0fa78abf28b7eb081b3c777` | | `ahmedabad-dig-trowel-2.wav` | 1.190 s | 0.390 s | 0.29 | `35f06523eaa30208a156e2f58eef6b732f965652b8a4c359cacecfce753e49f7` | Original mono 48000 Hz PCM24 converted to mono PCM16 after DC removal, 6 ms entrance/35 ms exit fades and peak normalization. Total 133572 bytes. Playback gain: spade 0.8, trowel 0.7. Cue starts account for the recorded transients, aligning maximum sound contact with maximum blade pressure at 1675 ms, 1342.5 ms and 2892.5 ms. Frames delayed by less than 90 ms skip the corresponding audio lead-in. Expired or unloaded cues remain silent. Gesture-only loading, caching and cancellation remain in place. Reduced motion is silent. Kite wind/reel sounds are unchanged. Untouched downloads and the processing script are retained under ignored `tmp/ahmedabad-audio/`. Direct listening on real speakers/headphones remains a manual review item. ## Ho Chi Minh City fruit delivery Source pages and CC0 licences checked on 2026-09-08. These are short recorded foley cues.

The creator describes three closures, three opening/closing actions and one short closure. This excerpt uses the final short closure, without layering in synthetic noise. The recording is of scissors, not cutting a leaf. The source page and [licence](https://bigsoundbank.com/licenses.html) were checked on 2026-09-08. They permit editing and redistribution under CC0 1.0. Public source: `https://bigsoundbank.com/UPLOAD/mp3/0008.mp3`. Source SHA-256: `d87757bca6d6a832a2c43f34fcddfda89d3ec85da5dfac33e8c4ce62060503b2`. Production: `panama-scissor-snip.wav`, 35324 bytes, mono 44100 Hz PCM16. Decoded-source excerpt: 11.565 s for 0.400 s. Linear 4 ms attack and 35 ms release fades, with gain 1.82 (peak approximately -8 dBFS). No pitch shift, reverb, repeated cuts or synthetic layers. Production SHA-256: `77c32b252fcac15bd1bd2888518261704dea6a3f89628a5c76324ed5b669a868`. Playback gain is 0.8. The cue begins at 1285 ms so its strongest transient, 90 ms into the excerpt, coincides with the visual cut at 1380 ms. The 35 KB clip loads and decodes on the first cutting gesture, then is reused. A missed loading deadline is silent, with no late playback or noise substitute. Escape, other activities and page hiding stop it. Reduced motion stays silent. The untouched download and decoded source are in ignored `tmp/panama-audio/`. ## Araucanía eating and drinking recordings Source licences checked on 2026-09-08. Both recordings use [CC0 1.0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/), which permits editing and redistribution. These are recorded human actions for the playful café interaction, not recordings of nematode feeding. ## Bread bites Source: [bite in crunchy bread.wav by hoelme](https://freesound.org/people/hoelme/sounds/453389/), published 2018-12-17. The creator describes three bites into crunchy bread, recorded with a DPA omnidirectional microphone, without post-processing.

The recording is classified as a human drinking action with a straw. Public HQ preview used: `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/367/367058_2019774-hq.mp3` Source SHA-256: `f6b81f26e1c87e313001800984906bf82ba27a31a4c5751daa2c24a1f8afebcf` `araucania-straw-sip.wav`: start 16.320 s, length 0.580 s. ## Processing and playback Decoded to mono 44100 Hz PCM16, then excerpted at the positions above. DC offset removed, with linear 6 ms attack and 35 ms release fades, followed by peak normalization to -8 dBFS. Exported as mono PCM16 WAV, without pitch shifting, looping, synthesized layers or added filtering. Playback gain is 0.8. The four deployed clips total 162464 bytes. Unedited downloaded previews and local processing material are retained in the ignored task folder `tmp/araucania-audio/` and are not published with the site. Bread clips play at the three existing visible bites. The sip plays while the straw reaches the mouth, for either worm. Sound remains gesture-triggered, with a single source and cancellation on activity changes, Escape and page hiding. ## Oʻahu chocolate-bike preview, 2026-09-09 The following CC0 recordings are preserved as downloaded MP3 previews. They are gesture-triggered foley, not recordings of Mānoa Chocolate's historic machine. | Local file | Recording and source | Creator | Licence | SHA-256 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `oahu-bike-chain.mp3` | [bicycle-pedal.wav, 185633](https://freesound.org/people/gerfaut83/sounds/185633/) | gerfaut83 | [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/) | `1890c9b51ba9606e175797c14cce6d2cd7e7770d2723474118ac4d7ef8f8d415` | | `oahu-bean-rattle.mp3` | [Pouring Coffee Beans.wav, 539319](https://freesound.org/people/RobinMetzler/sounds/539319/) | RobinMetzler | [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/) | `9f8d7679745b1ad897793107b4c6f75846eab4f7bf867d2e913dbedcb455f38b` | Downloaded from Freesound's source-linked HQ previews: `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/185/185633_3444085-hq.mp3` and `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/539/539319_8929618-hq.mp3`. Licence pages checked on 2026-09-09. Combined download size: 566104 bytes. Playback uses 0.8–6.75 seconds of the bicycle recording, and two short excerpts from the bean recording, at 1.2–2.35 and 4.2–5.4 seconds. Bicycle peak gain is capped at 0.13, bean peaks at 0.10 and 0.085. A 60 ms attack avoids clicks and the bicycle fades over its final 1.15 seconds. Gentle low-pass filtering reduces sharp mechanical edges. Pitch is unchanged. The bean cues do not overlap each other. Escape, dragging, resizing, scene changes and page hiding stop the sources. Failed loading is silent and retryable. Manual listening approval is pending. The initial chocolate-workshop follow-up reused the CC0 `nambucca-paper-slide.wav` recorded paper movement above for the bar sleeve at 430 ms, at 55% of the existing playback gain. No new audio file is added. Pouring, scraping and chewing remained quiet. The existing bicycle and bean recordings are unchanged. ## Oʻahu chocolate eating, 2026-09-09 - File: `oahu-chocolate-eating.mp3`, 349152 bytes. - Recording: [Eating Chocolate, 458009](https://freesound.org/people/Fabrizio84/sounds/458009/) by Fabrizio84, published 1 February 2019. - Licence: [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/), checked 9 September 2026. - Untouched source-linked HQ preview: `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/458/458009_2841496-hq.mp3`. - SHA-256: `028bc10adb609ae26da929c04f4ede1c4c696f3b1247dfb6e027d2ff0e0a83cc`. This is a recording of actual chocolate eating. Runtime excerpts are 0.80-1.42 s for the larger worm and 6.60-7.24 s for the male. Both begin 1810 ms into the gesture, when the piece has reached the mouth, and end during the visible chew. The male excerpt is foley for the chocolate-covered macadamia, not a recording claimed to contain that exact food. No pitch shifting or synthetic layer is used. Per-excerpt peak targets are 0.10 and 0.11 with a maximum gain of 0.8, an 8 ms attack and release of up to 60 ms. The existing paper excerpt plays at 430 ms for 0.44 s with a peak target of 0.055. Only one voice plays. Loading is lazy, failures are silent and retryable, and late cues are discarded. Escape, activity changes, dragging, resizing and page hiding cancel playback. Timing and level tests passed. Subjective listening remains unverified. ### Bali cacao nib eating reuse, 2026-09-14 The male in Sanda also uses the unchanged CC0 chocolate-eating recording above. The runtime plays 6.60–7.24 s at the first visible bite, 850 ms into the gesture, with a peak target of 0.095 and the same bounded gain and fades. This is eating foley for the cartoon nib, not a recording claimed to contain roasted cacao nibs or nematodes. No new audio file, pitch shift or synthetic layer was introduced. Loading starts only on activation. Cancellation, hiding and resizing stop playback. Subjective listening remains unverified. ## Queensland canopy visit, 2026-09-13 Three real recordings, downloaded unchanged from Freesound's source-linked HQ MP3 previews. All are [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/), with creator and licence pages checked on 2026-09-13. | File | Recording | Creator | SHA-256 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `queensland-lift.mp3` | [SFX Electric Actuator Jack 1.mp3, 683808](https://freesound.org/people/mpuffenbarger/sounds/683808/) | mpuffenbarger | `590e0edf1c248ea8c157a2c8cc7ae7dd66163346591fdf90c38122ea9be3520b` | | `queensland-shutter.mp3` | [Camera shutter analogue film SLR 1/4 02, 338219](https://freesound.org/people/cabled_mess/sounds/338219/) | cabled_mess | `cee1410ac9259ba6c080d469b1fc8c57d7e373e94245295874d28e90a047a642` | | `queensland-instant.mp3` | [Polaroid Impulse Shutter, 151795](https://freesound.org/people/JamesMontour/sounds/151795/) | JamesMontour | `a06614d5c432555b93706291c4015268167fe902f685cfefc61fc23ef23988e0` | Download paths are `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/683/683808_4257513-hq.mp3`, `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/338/338219_5450487-hq.mp3` and `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/151/151795_2497980-hq.mp3`. Respective file sizes are 138048, 13680 and 74736 bytes. The electric jack is foley for a motorised lift, not a recording of the actual Daintree crane. Its excerpts are 0.4-3.0 s on ascent and 0.4-2.8 s on descent, starting at animation times 1200 and 5400 ms. Peak targets are 0.095 and 0.08. The complete 0.629 s shutter and 3.882 s instant mechanism start at 950 ms, with peak targets 0.085 and 0.10. The instant recording contains its own film-ejection sound. No pitch alteration, synthetic layer or idle loop. Gain is capped at 0.7 with short attack/release fades. Each recording has one bounded channel, so camera actions can play over the motor during a ride. Repeating a camera action stops only its own channel. Escape and scene/lifecycle cancellation stop all three. Lazy loading, deduplication, independent channels, cancellation and clip bounds are tested. Subjective listening remains unverified. ## Oʻahu gift wrapping, 2026-09-09 - File: `oahu-gift-foil.mp3`, 182112 bytes, preserved unchanged. - Recording: [tinfoil 05.wav, 337524](https://freesound.org/people/Anthousai/sounds/337524/) by Anthousai, published 21 February 2016. - Licence: [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/), checked 9 September 2026. - Source-linked HQ preview: `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/337/337524_5923045-hq.mp3`. - SHA-256: `7679bb0a7ba4a6bc745509236373b95b8a3ba45dbf975dd9097f675c6900a73e`. Real aluminium-foil handling is played at 0.60-1.08 s for the shared box's liner. An alternate 2.40-2.88 s excerpt was prepared for the superseded paired version and is not used by the shared action. The lid/ribbon gestures use the existing CC0 `nambucca-paper-slide.wav`, from 0-0.44 s. Peak targets are 0.065 for foil and 0.06 for paper, with short attack/release fades. No pitch change, synthetic layer or idle loop. Sources load on the first gift gesture. Wrapping/opening cues are bounded and mutually exclusive with eating/cycling. Escape, movement, resizing, scene changes and page hiding stop them. File/hash, timing, level, lazy-loading and cleanup tests passed. Subjective listening remains unverified. # Guadeloupe drum taps, 2026-09-16 The following recordings by **MrRentAPercussionist** are licensed under [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), verified on 16 September 2026.

Playback trims leading silence, adjusts gain, and fades the end of each excerpt (at most 0.65 seconds), without changing pitch. Each click starts a twelve-beat phrase, with different rhythms for the two drums. Beats are scheduled on the audio clock with varied accents. Tapping the same drum during its phrase does not restart it; the other drum swaps roles and cancels the previous phrase. No idle or automatic repeating loop. Samples load after a gesture. Movement, scene changes, Escape, resizing and page hiding cancel playback. Subjective listening remains unverified. # New Taipei pottery and tea foley reuse, 2026-09-16 No new audio files. The local pottery preview reuses these already-credited CC0 excerpts byte-for-byte: - `araucania-straw-sip.wav`: [bassboybg, straw sip](https://freesound.org/people/bassboybg/sounds/367058/), for tea sipping. - `kauai-bath-squeeze.wav`: [Joseph SARDIN, sponge and foam](https://bigsoundbank.com/sponge-and-foam-s0778.html), quiet shaping-contact foley, not a pottery recording. Sources load on the first relevant gesture. Playback gain is 0.6 for sip and 0.25 for squeeze, without pitch changes. One bounded action at a time; no idle loops. Cancellation stops active sources; late downloads never trigger belated sound. Reduced motion omits these cues. Subjective listening is unverified. The painting activity and its brush cue were removed in preview pottery-6. ## Réunion JU1375 accessory foley reuse, 2026-09-17 No new recordings or modified audio bytes. Reuses the credited CC0 files: `araucania-straw-sip.wav` (bassboybg), `pohnpei-leaves.ogg` (Brandon Morris), `oahu-bike-chain.mp3` (gerfaut83) and `kauai-bath-pour-v2.wav` (Joseph SARDIN). Sip, leaf handling, mechanical cranking and liquid pouring accompany the visible actions. The chain recording is mechanical foley, not a cane-press recording; leaf rustling is not a gecko call. Original speed and pitch, faded excerpts: sip 0.58 s / gain 0.5; leaves 0.45 s / 0.075; cranking 0.85 s / 0.13; pouring 1.5 s / 0.23. Sources load after a gesture. Cancellation stops playback; late decoding cannot trigger audio. Reduced motion is silent. Subjective listening remains unverified. The earlier stirring-glass cue is no longer used by this scene. ## Praslin YR106 small-bell recording, 2026-09-17 - File: `praslin-small-bell.mp3` - Work: Small bell #2, sound 293, by GlaneurDeSons. - Source: https://bigsoundbank.com/small-bell-2-s0293.html - Original MP3: https://bigsoundbank.com/UPLOAD/mp3/0293.mp3 - License: CC0, as stated on the source page (checked 2026-09-17). - Downloaded MP3 bytes retained unmodified. Runtime detects the first audible onset and plays bounded 1.05 s calls / 0.65 s answers, with a soft volume envelope and unchanged speed/pitch. This is recorded handbell foley for the fantasy bracelets, not a recording of Seychellois music or local wildlife. - Audio loads after a user gesture. Cancellation invalidates pending actions and stops active sources; reduced motion is silent. Subjective listening remains unverified. ## Mahahual JU2617 hand-lotion foley, local preview 2026-09-17 - File: `mahahual-lotion.mp3` (280928 bytes). - Work: Hand lotion application, sound 455270, by BigHoly. - Source: https://freesound.org/people/BigHoly/sounds/455270/ - Public HQ preview: https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/455/455270_6914866-hq.mp3 - License: CC0, verified on the source page on 2026-09-17. - Downloaded MP3 retained unmodified; SHA256: `770d0eb30e79051f5a2e53c904e0565b88864a0845efcb9f7fcc63a7b14e4770`. - Actual hand-lotion rubbing, used as sunscreen foley. Two different 2.1 s excerpts begin at 1.2 and 6.1 s, at unchanged pitch/speed. Peak-normalized target 0.15 (gain capped at 0.7), 60 ms attack and 130 ms release. - Gesture-only load; cancellation stops voices and prevents late playback. Reduced motion is silent. Subjective listening remains manual. - Supersedes the generic sponge/glass cues in preview 3. Those shared source files remain unchanged for their other scenes. ## Salt Lake City EG4181 bubbles, local preview 2026-09-18 - `salt-lake-pop.mp3`: **BubblePopping**, sound 762781, by Sess8it.

Peak targets 0.11 / 0.06, gain capped at 0.8, 15 ms attack and 45 ms release. Fetch/decode follows a gesture; no delayed playback is scheduled on completion. Cancellation stops sources. Reduced motion is silent. Subjective listening remains manual. - Preview 9: the blowing cue now accompanies both kits, once at bubble formation; the original MP3, gain, duration and pitch are unchanged. ### Salt Lake apricot picnic reuse, 2026-09-18 The picnic reuses `reunion-eat.wav` (qubodup's CC0 **Banana Munching** excerpt, credited in the Saint-Benoit section above), unchanged. It is soft-fruit foley, not an apricot-specific recording. Two up-to-0.58 s cues begin at the visible bites, 3350 and 3700 ms into the picnic. Runtime peak target 0.09, gain capped at 0.8, 15 ms attack / 45 ms release, original pitch and speed. Gesture-only loading, cancellation stops voices, and reduced motion remains silent. Subjective listening remains manual. ### Apricot bite follow-up, preview 3 The previous 0.58 s chewing excerpts overlapped at the 350 ms spacing and Martyna found the sound strange. Runtime now uses only 0.145-0.335 s of the existing 0.66 s clip: a 0.19 s bite transient, peak target 0.04 (about 7 dB quieter than 0.09), unchanged pitch/speed and 15/45 ms fades. The second cue starts 350 ms later, leaving 160 ms between clips. No prolonged chewing tail or overlap. Source bytes unchanged; no new asset. Waveform bounds checked; subjective listening remains manual. # Orsay pencil drawing and paper, 2026-09-19 - `orsay-pencil.mp3`: **pencil writing.wav**, Freesound 326043, by Freeman213SG. [Creator/source page](https://freesound.org/people/Freeman213SG/sounds/326043/). CC0 verified on 2026-09-19. Actual common-pencil writing recorded with a Blue Yeti, rather than a synthesized substitute. Source-linked HQ preview retained byte-for-byte: `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/326/326043_3972580-hq.mp3`. 343744 bytes; SHA256 `f8dea7bc97f5b22f70a98d49e6886cc14b574b34fd166a7b0b9e7d4bf5a32138`. Four 0.62-second excerpts start at 1.3, 3.1, 5.2 and 7.3 seconds. Six bounded cues accompany drawing, beginning 2.2 seconds into the action, 730 ms apart, alternating excerpts. Peak target 0.065, gain capped at 0.8. - `nambucca-paper-slide.wav`: existing unchanged CC0 page-turn recording by DavidGreck, credited below. Plays for 0.44 seconds during book lifting and settling at 0.45 and 8.45 seconds; peak target 0.045. Both use original speed/pitch, 25 ms attack and 65 ms release. Files load only after a user gesture; a missed decoding deadline stays silent. Escape, other actions, moving/resizing props, scene changes and hiding the page stop voices. Reduced motion stays silent. Subjective listening has not been verified. ## Santeuil, Tenerife and Kauaʻi XZ1516 interactions, 2026-09-19 All six sources below offer CC0 on their creator pages, verified 2026-09-19.

Unchanged HQ preview: `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/669/669931_14631530-hq.mp3`. 18336 bytes; SHA-256 `72a6c84d88cc0740b445d38291503325de8dfbd2a935832945c3f944ef91789a`. - `tenerife-strum-up.mp3`: [ukuele sharp.ogg, FOSSarts](https://freesound.org/people/FOSSarts/sounds/669930/).

The two attacks alternate in separate original eight-strum patterns, up to .64/.53 s per hit, peak targets .085/.12. These are plucked nylon-string foley, not recordings of a timple or a traditional Canarian performance. Original pitch and speed retained. - `kauai-whistle.mp3`: [Short whistle.wav, Sami_Kullström](https://freesound.org/people/Sami_Kullstr%C3%B6m/sounds/388053/), recorded with Samsung Galaxy J5. Unchanged HQ preview: `https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/388/388053_7282645-hq.mp3`. 10539 bytes; SHA-256 `b6147c59943e4dec39d6797ee26610263df0098f69c465f1e6965be0c0c603f6`. Up to .48 s at original pitch/speed, in distinct three/four-note rhythms, peak targets .07/.052. Human whistling foley for imaginary worms, not a species call. Playback reuses the same timing, without recording visitors. Tenerife's eating reuses the unchanged `reunion-eat.wav` credited above. Each portion has a .23 s bite excerpt from .04 s (peak target .065) at 1900 ms, then a quieter .26 s chew from .32 s (peak target .044) at 2340 ms. Both coincide with the visible mouth movement, at original pitch and speed. Audio is loaded after interaction, with a four-second bound; late decode does not trigger delayed playback. Each voice has attack/release fades, interruption fades over 40 ms, and all activity stops on cancellation, page hiding or leaving the scene. Reduced motion is silent. Subjective listening remains user review. ## Kauaʻi vocal duet, 2026-09-19 Replaces the bird-like whistle with two short human scat performances.

Adaptations: separate excerpts, stereo averaged to mono, DC offset removed, 22 ms edge fades, peak normalized to 0.55, resampled to 22050 Hz PCM16 WAV. Playback speed/pitch is raised slightly to give two playful character voices: - `kauai-vocal-primary.wav`: source 0–4.68 s, speed 1.04; 4.500 s. SHA-256 `aafe5a65f977ddc2215af0babf57a90d01690fd47cc5715b965b5566b318b816`. - `kauai-vocal-companion.wav`: source 5.02–9.70 s, speed 1.22; 3.836 s. SHA-256 `f8bf05543d5fb88bd07ae5eb5343dc2d91d04797767f70fde3b87d4f95999d53`. The animation follows each excerpt's measured 40 ms amplitude envelope; the recorder replays those exact files in the same order, with a 350 ms turn-taking pause. Playback peak targets are .11 and .095. These are playful human vocals, not nematode calls or a claim of Hawaiian music. No visitor microphone access. The old whistle remains archived in the repository but is no longer requested by this scene. The compact source credit uses proper names and a licence identifier, unchanged across language settings. ## Trivandrum shared shower, 2026-09-20 Reuses the byte-identical CC0 recordings documented above: `kauai-bath-pour-v2.wav` (Joseph SARDIN 3314) for the 1.9-second stream, `kauai-bath-squeeze.wav` (Joseph SARDIN 0778) for a quiet wet head rub, and `lombok-splash.wav` (Joseph SARDIN 1534) for a short shake-off splash. These are illustrative water and sponge foley, not recordings of worms. Original pitch/speed; no synthesis or looping. Peak targets .11, .035 and .055 respectively. The small can uses a 1.55-second pour. Playback starts only after a gesture, follows the visible action and stops on cancellation. Reduced motion keeps a brief static response. ## Claremont reading and drinks, 2026-09-20 Reuses existing unchanged CC0 recordings documented above: `nambucca-paper-slide.wav` (DavidGreck, page turning), 0.44 s at peak target .045; `araucania-straw-sip.wav` (bassboybg), 0.28 s at .055; and `kauai-bath-pour-v2.wav` (Joseph SARDIN 3314), 1.15 s at .085. Original pitch and speed, no synthesis or looping. Files load after a visitor gesture. Paper follows the page movement; drink cues follow visible sipping/pouring. Cancellation stops playback. Existing source files and licence records retained. ## Tenerife duet preview, 2026-09-20 Reuses the byte-identical `tenerife-strum.mp3` and `tenerife-strum-up.mp3` credited above. An original 112 BPM rhythmic arrangement has a call, answer, short exchanges and shared ending. No claim of traditional Canarian music or authentic timple sound. Both recordings retain original pitch and playback speed. Leading silence is skipped at the first 12%-of-peak crossing minus 3 ms. Per-hit excerpts are up to .44 s for down strokes, .30 s for up strokes and .80 s for the ending. Peak targets are .105 solo / .063 together, multiplied by accent strength. Six-ms attack, 90-ms release, .2 left/right panning and 4200/6500 Hz lowpass filtering distinguish the players without pitch shifting. All hits are scheduled against one AudioContext clock, which also drives the hands and body movement. Cancellation fades and stops future scheduled voices; loading failure leaves a silent animated fallback, and reduced motion is silent. No new audio assets added. Subjective listening remains user review. ## Tenerife gourd shaker, 2026-09-20 - `tenerife-shaker.mp3`: [Big Maraca OS 1, Sadiquecat](https://freesound.org/people/Sadiquecat/sounds/792505/). Creator page explicitly lists CC0 (verified 2026-09-20). Real maraca recorded with Tascam FR-AV2 and Rode NT5.

Runtime excerpts up to .20 s, original pitch/speed, leading-silence trim as above, .072 peak target times .50/.85 accent. Starts on the shaker's direction changes at 112 BPM, after the instrument changeover. Existing guitar samples provide accompaniment only while timples are visible. All future hits cancel on interruption; reduced motion remains silent. No visitor recording. ## Panama shared flower-bait preparation, 2026-09-20 - New file: `panama-blender.mp3`, unchanged HQ preview of [Blender.wav by VSokorelos](https://freesound.org/people/VSokorelos/sounds/346170/).

Runtime excerpt .25-3.25 s, peak target .10, starting at 2750 ms. - Reuses `hcmc-stir.wav` (ChrisGrundlingh, recorded spoon/glass contact, CC0, source above): .24-.52 s at 9570 ms (.048 peak), 1.10-1.32 s at 10900 ms (.04 peak). This is utensil foley, not a claim of recording the illustrated dish. - Reuses `kauai-bath-pour-v2.wav` (Joseph SARDIN, water poured into a mug, source above): .30-1.10 s at 7400 ms, peak target .065, as pouring foley. All use original pitch/speed and short attack/release fades. Load after a gesture, play once at the relevant action, skip stale cues, cancel all voices on interruption. Reduced motion is silent. Playback timing is tested; subjective listening remains manual. ## Bali gong duet, 2026-09-20 - `bali-gong-low.mp3`: [Gong2_96Khz24bit.wav by psuess](https://freesound.org/people/psuess/sounds/194433/), CC0 verified 2026-09-20.
