AIR VENT VS ummmm AIR VENT

I wanted to start my sound postings with this post of a more common air vent. Unlike my other postings this sound isnt contrasted by any other sound because it is an all encompassing, chocking sound. The rattling and the intense humming of the air vent create a wall of sound that aches for attention but as it is a sound many of us hear daily we disregard it as unimportant.

YOU CAN LISTEN TO IT here

It is not a sound I can honestly say I enjoy listening to but it has a certain intensity that I find I need to pay attention more. I recorded this vent by just walking by and stopping next to it and holding my mics 3 feet apart. The vent is on the side of a "Contemporary World Cuisine" restraunt building. And in the window next to the vent is the kitchen where you can see cooks and dishwashers working fast and steadily which I found worked with the sound of the voilent vent really well.
