Helicopter flying over some teen-agers enjoying their holyday.
I made this recording in late winter, during an already warm and sunny holyday afternoon, while standing in a wide pedestrian area, in front of the modern buildings of a mall and business centre located in the western suburbs of Paris (France).
One can hear teen-agers, as well as some kids and adults, chatting and enjoying their free time, while a helicopter passes by and flies over the buildings at #0:11.
In the background, noise from the surrounding city.
Recorded in March 2026 with a Zoom H6Essential and its Zoom XYh-6e stock microphone.
Fade in/out applied in Audacity.

Thank you very much guys !
In fact, as my wife and I were just going out from the mall, I planned to catch the nearby church bell ringing for 4 o’clock, but it started to ring earlier than expected, and I pressed the rec button a bit too late... ;-)
Luckily, I decided to let the recorder running anyway, and here’s what I got in the next minutes...
This is the magic of life ! ;-)

Simply wonderful!
Isn't it amazing when you press the record button and good things pop up out of nowhere?
