Fun little article in today's NYTimes, about the Oscar-winning sound designer ("Saving Private Ryan", "Titanic", "Jurassic Park") Gary Rydstrom:
Incoming shell: "That's one of the scariest sounds in war to me, knowing that a shell is coming in to explode near you. I recorded my vacuum cleaner. I was vacuuming my stairs and if you vacuum in the crack of the stairs in the carpet, it makes this crazy whoosh. This happens to sound people all time, you're doing something mundane one day and you hear this great sound. My wife has long thought I'm crazy; she probably had to be quiet for a few hours while I recorded a vacuum cleaner. The cracks of my stairs are so clean now."
