In this episode, I am sharing a memory of going to a store to buy my first watch. All watch sounds and music are original. I recorded the watch using a LOM mikroUcho Pro with a sensitivity rating of -32 dB at 1kHz (±3 dB) with a Sound Devices Mix Pre 6 recorder. Train and Kids Playing from Freesound.

My family adopted a bunny we found eating my mother’s garden plants. We took the bunny and she has become part of our family. She makes a very interesting sound while chewing her rabbit treats.
