Scratching records sound

stoneill

Did you ever notice the needle scratching across the record sound in kids comedy shows when the drama of a scene end abruptly?

How many people watching these shows are actually old enough to know what a record is and what a needle dragged across it really sound like. (apart from me that is).

Also - the speed camera sign - when was the last time a camera ever look like that.

Level crossing sign showing a steam train - for feck sake, they haven't been around for 70 years.

Im bored of older people thinking that just because I'm not 100 years old I have no idea what a record or steam engine or any other out-dated thing is. We may not have used it but we know what they are. Get over it.

Speed cameras never looked like that anyway, it's just a distinctive symbol.

I wonder if '€' might be the more apt choice.

When is the last time you saved anything on a floppy disc??

It's a bloody noise ffs....most kids wouldn't even notice it let alone think to ask what it is.

And every child knows a steam train. Thomas the tank !

It's one of those sounds that you don't notice - until you do, and then it's everywhere!

Mind you don't fall over because of that chip on your shoulder.

Many songs released nowadays have vinyl crackling noises added to them, it's particularly prevalent in urban music.

You might think that, but my sister didn't know what a vinyl record was until she was 17. :eek: She was born in 1993.

No way :pac: I was born in the same year and we had a turn table and a few Michael Jackson vinyls. They got used up until the new millennium nearly.
I can understand how some people might not know. My family where never technologically advanced, we didn't bother with DVD's till 2004 so I suppose that's how I know about old crap

I love them good old vinyls, backward masking and stuff
