Recordist's notes
Recorded on porch of my house with Tascam DR-05. This is the weekly test of the Tolt River Flood Warning System. This is a series of speakers setup in the countryside to broadcast a warning if dam breaches. My house is surrounded by old growth cedar forest, so you get a strange reverb from the forest itself.
