Museum of Endangered Sounds

In the unrelenting advance of modern civilisation we create new noises and sounds. The old sounds vanish without our being aware of the sonic treasures lost for ever. But not quite. One of us has established a "Museum for Endangered Sounds", where old sounds are conserved. Nothing more transient than sounds of the past, we might have thought. Browse for a few moments in forgotten experiences which are still stored in our memories, the sound of a clock mechanism, a mechanical typewriter, the clicking and whirring of devices that passed into oblivion, pests of the past, but nevertheless relics which we can again bring to life. Curious echoes of other times.
