Recordist's notes

Recorded with an H2N Zoom Recorder at a 44.1 kHz sample rate. What you listen is the sound of rats, as they get inside and outside the bushes, in order to eat. They were attracted by maccaroni with cheese. The recorder was placed just beside the bait, and several weird noises can be heard, including a squeak during 3.28, and some chewing later on. A noise reduction filter was applied, and an amplification of the audio. The rats where of the rattus norwegicus species.
