Recording LAX Airport sounds with binaural microphones

Welcome to LAX! With my binaural microphones, I went to the Los Angeles Airport to record ambience sounds at Terminal 5. You’ll hear sounds of people passing by, talking, and putting the luggage on the scale at the check-in counter! The friendly service agent told us that our luggage was overweight by five pounds and if we didn’t want to have an extra charge to move the weight to our carry on bag.

What exactly is binaural audio?

Binaural audio (or as you can say 3D audio) is more than 20 years old but is gaining recent popularity with the VR movement in entertainment. For creating the real binaural audio experience you will need to capture the sound that can be heard from the perspective of our ears. Binaural microphones are oftentimes worn in the ear like ear puds. Some models serve as both microphones and monitors (so you can hear exactly what you’re recording!)

When you listen to my binaural audio recording make sure to wear headphones, close your eyes, and take in the sound you hear!
