Description by greyseraphim This was produced by tapping on a stethoscope which had an earbud pressed against a Shure SM57 mic. Low pass filter applied, as well as compression and a gate. Chorus added. Used a recording cassette deck as a preamp going into an M-Audio Audiophile USB soundcard. Note: If you're having problems listening to this clip, the cutoff frequency of your speaker set may be too high(solution: new speakers). The signal strength exists almost entirely in the very low frequencies, so you may need a sub-woofer to hear it. Otherwise, try turning your speaker volume all the way up. Doing so may saturate the signal and at least allow you to hear the harmonics of the signal caused by the distortion. I don't recommend it, but you'll at least maybe be able to hear something.

just working on a "who wants to be a millionaire" style q & a game, this is just the ticket. is that your circadian rhythms at work or were you listening to a click? just wondering...
greyseraphim
Feb 9, 2007
I wasn't using a metronome, if that's what you're asking. I was trying to make the clip match up with the rate of my own biological heartbeat.
Thomas Dean
Feb 15, 2007
Mesmerizing! Thank you greyseraphim! Have you ever thought of using the same technique but with a pregnant woman? Would there be a difference? Are male heartbeats and female heartbeats identical in sound?
Black angel
Feb 27, 2007
This is really a nice sound, I like it! I was looking for it from a loooooooooong time and I finally found it. I become crazy about things like “heart” ;-)
But I’d like to ask, is this a normal human heart beating? , because I feel it a little irregular! (Beat good in the start, strong in the middle, beat slower, but stronger in the last seconds)
Can someone bring an abnormal human heart beating??
Many thanks!
Rayber
Mar 3, 2007
Nice recording especially just using a stethoscope.
I listen to them all the time (ER RN). I'll try to record some abnormal ones in the future.
Thx for the post and site.

I cannot hear it. Not on the web, and not when I download it. What could be the problem? other sounds in my computer and in this page are working well.
ruwan
Mar 20, 2007
Like a couple of other people, I can't hear the clip unless I run the analog out from my computer into my stereo and then turn it WAY up. Some kind of digital level problem? I'm not a sound person at all, just trying to use the clip in a video project. When I do turn it up, it sounds great - pretty much what I'm looking for.
digifishmusic
Mar 20, 2007
xime and ruwan - If you can't hear it, then it is likely an issue with the low frequency response of your speakers...this sound has very little energy above about 140 Hz.

Nov 10, 2008
To what I have heard, the sound is not very real due to one fact:
It is the typical heart's double beat, but in reality the first beat is the heavy one, causing a TONG tong, TONG tong, while this recording is the other way round: tong TONG, tong TONG , giving an upbeat feeling.

ricky945: I don't mean to insult your intelligence but I'll go from the top and assume nothing.
Register and log in,
Click on the sound you like,
To the upper right side of the waveform picture there will be a 'download' link,
Right-click that link and select 'Save link as',
Select location on computer to save to and click save.
Done. Should be saved where you told it to go as an MP3 file (default) or whatever was chosen.
Hope that helps.
