A good question Kevin, In the winter, here in Nova Scotia last year, I tram=
ped
about the woods on windy days with my recording gear. Just about the only s=
ound
I could find were frozen streams and creaking trees! I found the more solid=
hard
wood trees like birch and maple made a deeper more bass sound while the so=
ft
woods like White and Red Spruce had a higher pitch. I guess because of the=
density of the wood. Most times it was a tree rubbing on another tree. A lo=
ok at
the place where the sound came from showed deep grooves where they had like=
ly
been shifting in the wind for years. If there is a constant wind, you can f=
ind
some unique rhythms. I was seldom aware of this until i started recording
nature.
cheers
