Dear Recordists:
I am a scientist currently involved in studying the effects of auditory context (a background scene) on the perception of specific environmental sounds. For instance, if the background is a street scene, how does that affect one's ability to perceive something expected, such as a car horn, vs something unexpected, like a rooster crowing (these are just random examples). Some preliminary research I have done indicates that the effect is the opposite of what one would expect, namely unexpected sounds are perceived more easily than expected ones. Anyway, I want to continue this research with a standardized battery of stimuli that other investigators can use so comparisons across studies can be performed.
What I would like are professional, high quality recordings of:
About 20 easily recognizable background scenes e.g., street scenes, restaurants (see below). The segments should be relatively short,
