Strange Berlin recording...

Hi,
I staid for a night in a noisy hotel in Berlin within the last weeks. While I have been absent the whole daytime, I left my recording device simple in the room next to the neighbor room where a md-aged couple stayed for the weekend, musical visit and so on....
My recorder stayed tundes for about 8 hours from 08:30 in the morning.
It was interesting to hear what I recorded -the walls were lousy thin.
Kids running in the morning, water closets, room service working and talking and other noise of no interest.
Late in the afternoon, I listened to a rhythmic rumbling, listened to a couple talking in the next room. And again and again this rumbling -for about one hour - but I cannnot hear any moaning, screaming or groaning...
Either they practised Tantra exercises in their bed, or they tried to be as quiet as possible BUT why the rhythmic bouncing of the bed to my wall???
Any one who has an idea??

Listen carefully - I cut about 4,5 minutes of the ending of the session - last is the shower
Regards

That, to me, definitely sounds like sex.. my initial thoughts were of construction, maybe somebody repairing a wardrobe next door or something. But if you listen around 01:22 ... thats definitely someone being pounded haha.

Unfortunately, some couples are just quiet. If a girl is a heavy breather and not a moaner, then generally you've got no chance of catching much from next door, specially with a bed that noisy. I live with a girl at the moment like this... could post hours of bed footage like this from her, but so far I've only ever heard one moan... sooooooo frustrating!!

Just a thought, what recorder do you use though? Its a bit hissy, but 8 hours worth sounding that good would be a valuable device to have for some people surely.

Hi,
I made this longtime recording with an OLYMPUS DS30. It`s a nice small digital recorder with a high quality external stereo mic. Batteries are ususal triple A - so no problem with empty rechargeable energy. The device has a few recording options - in this recording I`ve chosen the conference mode for purpose of room/next room recording. It is perfect for longtime recordings. Capacity over 8 hours. Filetransfer via USB. Software for PC and MAC included.

Is there really mac software included? Can you double check that? I am interested in buying the DS30, however, if there is no mac software included it is quite useless for me. Thanks in advance!
