Other Recordings & Good Stories


We call them whoops. thweeps, thwips, and farts: brief snippets of audio recovered from the distant past that don't sound like much. But each has a good story behind it. Here are a few lesser-known sound recordings we at First Sounds have tinkered with—or, in one case, a "well-known" recording that does not exist at all.


The "Lost" Tracing of Lincoln's Voice

Pouillet’s Electromagnetic “Tour”

"Ki! Ki!": Franciscus Donders and the Noematachograph

The Night of the Listening Dead

Charles Anson Morey, American Phonautograph Inventor
