The Sound of Junior Kindergarten

This is the sound of a full day of Junior Kindergarten. It was recorded on June 22nd 2017 in Toronto at Howard Public Junior School in area 11. You’ll hear all the sounds from the children’s day; from the school bell, to lunchtime, to music class.

Close Encounters of a Kind Bird

I love nature sounds. In this sample you hear several birds calling including one very unhappy downie woodpecker, the wind in the trees, and sounds of water flowing after a spring rain. Recorded While hiking at Royal Botanical Gardens, Burlington.

Crow Talk

Crows make a wide variety of sounds and not just the “cawing” and often times shrill barking just after sunrise on a Sunday (sleep in) morning.

Carving Chain Saws

Some 15 to 20 chainsaws are all working hard to create beautiful artistic forms out of large tree butts. The finished works are displayed by Googling Campbell River or chainsaw carvings or some such descriptives.

TML playoff hockey – Austin Matthews scores in Punjabi

I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but if you ask me nothing sounds more Canadian than hearing a TML playoff goal called in Punjabi.
