Field recordings from transformator stations as well. Locations are Hall, Västberga and Vällingby - suburbs in Stockholm, and an ant hill also! For more information, watch the previous clip.

    form109 the crackling sound you hear is the air around the lines being ionised, it's literally the sound of the air splitting. As for humming, this is produced by the stepping down of the high voltage electricity from the transmission line to the distribution level voltage. Noise is also emitted from transformer cooling systems. It's nothing to do with wind. -- Flash Bristow, Pylon Appreciation Society.

    it feels strangely nostalgic when i watch this

    the part betweem 0:00 - 1:30 i love it <3 the cloudy landscape, the powerlines...the sound, it's just perfect want to go there, lay down and listen could somebody recommend an asmr / background noise video with that sound (or i could even call this "ambient")?

    I love this. Not only the sound but the video too. Thank you so much for sharing

    Omg that sound at 3:18 is what I heard the powerlines at the park doing today.. they were so loud, it was creepy in its own way, I was running thinking have they always made this sound?!

    the stereo separation is amazing 4:12 airplane
  • @UncomfortableSilence
    If you don't mind me asking, how do you record these? I would be into doing stuff like this. I like sounds.

    "Spännande" med nytt inlägg bland högspänningsljuden. Härligt fasningsljud i stereo och maffigt överslagsknatter kompat med flygplanspassage. Ett ljudmässigt konstverk. Kul att höra av dig igen.

    3:18 isn't an arc, it's the corona effect, 'electricity leakage'.

    At a RV Park in Central Florida, high tension power lines run through the park. On damp cold winter days the sizzle sound as heard around 3:18 is the same sound we can hear.

    holy shit what's really going on? brain tumors in process? This stuff is very interesting and frightening. Has anyone heard of these 500,000+ voltage power line towers ever failing? Perhaps the ceramic insulators breaking and the line going down. I keep thinking that might happen to me when i'm under them. They look ominous at night and seem like they're closer to the ground than they actually are.

    I clicked on the video and instantly thought about Sweden. As a norwegian, I visit Sweden several times a year, and I always recognize these types of power lines. You use them all over Sweden, even as far north as Kiruna. In Norway our powerlines are a bit slimmer.
  • @sonconmas
    It's called the corona effect and is basically electricity 'leaking' from the lines. It's not dangerous and is usually audible where to HV lines cross past each other and in damp conditions like fog. I have a vid of it my channel.

    Love this one and it sounds like lasers or the MRI. Sparky bites.
