since some weeks i have to stay in hotels from sunday night to friday morning.
now after 2 different hotels and some nights there i have already made some experiences.
in the first hotel i stayed only for one night, but i took my crappy recorder (which totally sucks!!) with me in case if i get bored or whatever...
i have set up the recorder in front of my door when i went to bed. then a few days later when i checked the recordings i found "one" female moan. nevertheless it was only one noise and the quality was poor too.
second hotel: this time i have taken my notebook and my logitech desktop microphone(3.5mm) with me.
the thing is... that the internal soundcard got busted during the train ride and i had to buy some usb soundstick first...
there has been a couple, which i thought would stay next to my room, making sounds with dirty talk and shit... (i have checked the paytv preview to make sure it's not the tv
)so i have set up my mic under my door and pointed it in the direction of the door, that i assumed they were behind...
simultaneous i have listened to the noises with some headphones attached to the notebook.
and now there's the funny part: i have heard whispers of some (older) couple. i did not really get the words they were saying, but i'm sure they have opened their door a little bit to hear that couple going at it. the only thing i have understood was in german "komm, komm wieder rein" which means "come, come back inside" (in the room). but that was after they (and i of course) listened for about an hour.
i thought i had recorded everything, but cooledit still used the damaged internal soundcard as recording device and so i had nothing
the next evening i placed my mic again and just listened without recording. i heard some sounds but no whispers this time. the plan was to knock on the couples door when they are really loud to tell them to be quiet because i had to get up early for work.
well, mostly i just wanted to see how they look like
so i went down the floor and found the room at THE END of the floor
not really near my room as i assumed before.
i have waited in front of the couples door to knock when they are really noisy but i didn't have luck with that. i had to walk away some times because of other guests...
after a while a couple arrived and i had a look at them when they entered a room right between mine and the noisy couples room. i have only seen the guy who was about 50 years old, maybe a little bit older. soon the whispers started again so i was sure that this couple were the spies.
i didn't see any open doors where that older couple could have spied on them again. maybe they were just inside their room and listened through the door this time...
i heard that the noisy couple watched the champions league game on tv which was going to start in some minutes... so i placed my mic under my door again and placed myself in front of the tv to watch the game too. (this time i used the usb soundstick for recording
)so now... that's it. i have some soundfile that may contain some sounds for you people, but there is a lot of tv noise and also a little bit noise caused by the elevator and the recording itself...
at this point i need some advise how to remove that "recording noise" from the complete file so i can check out if there was anything worth listening going on.
i have cooledit and adobe audition. but i'm not really firm with that tools and maybe someone of you has a little bit more expertise with that and can help me out.
i will upload a short sample of the recording here to "show" you the noises which have to be removed.
