Change train sound to comply with DFSG about blanket HOT 11 CLOSED

Hey @haggen88 you sent the extracted version of Train by Vahid from https://trains.ambient-mixer.com/rainy-train here: #46 (comment). By any chance you know any live source?

from blanket.

That audio came from that source... I have no idea where the original is. I tried to look it up on freesound.org but the audio is not there.

from blanket.

Right, that's what supposed, also tried to search on the web but nothing.

So yeah @werdahias, this is the only source we have for that sound's author and license.

@rafaelmardojai thanks for the info. Unfortunately, debian considers the CC sampling license non-free. Could you maybe use a different train sound licensed under CC0 or CC-BY ? This looks like a candidate at 00:35

hi, any update ?

from blanket.

It is difficult to find audio samples that contain the characteristic sound of the train passing through the railway tracks [clickety-clack], the candidates I found were loops of a couple of seconds.

@rafaelmardojai luckily i think i found a loop that could be used

• 'Trains of the Yamanote Line' by SDLx [CC BY 3.0] SDLx - Trains of the Yamanote Line.ogg.zip
  from https://freesound.org/people/SDLx/sounds/259988/

I don't know how to perform a LUFS analysis [I'll leave that to @Porrumentzio], the closest I got is to edit the loop with Audacity and check how it turned out with Loudness Normalization [Effect menu [-35]] and it seems more acceptable:
norm lufs SDLx - Trains of the Yamanote Line.ogg.zip

P.S: Car ride sound is also licensed under a Creative Commons Sampling Plus 1.0 License.

@haggen88 thanks for looking into that :) With car ride do you mean the city sounds ?

from blanket.

I mean #189
[not a currently built-in sound blanket]

from blanket.

ah, right, my bad

from blanket.

@haggen88 IMO is too short, but is the best that we have, and I think is important to avoid the CC sampling license. So I will include that sound.

thanks !
