Stream Brook Water Flow 16 Bit
Recorded with a Portable Alesis Digital Recorder then widened and lightly manipulated in DAW. This is actual foley of a stream recorded at close range. Public Domain, Do with as you please.

Amtrak Pacific Surfliner Pass-by
(RECORDER: ZoomH4nPro 2018) (MICROPHONES: Binaural Roland CS-10EM In-Ear Monitors) As these are recorded using binaural in-ear mics, I purposefully don't turn my head to keep the sound clean and coming from the same direction.

Here you can hear this high-speed train come screaming through Burbank's downtown station (traffic can be heard on I-5 in the distance) You
