Some reflections were unavoidable, but I made sure that the location had enough open space so that the reflections didn’t bury the principal sound effect. I was careful to make sure that the buildings didn’t form a completely enclosed courtyard. This isolated sounds away from the rest of the city drone. I scouted a location that created a canyon of buildings. This adds interesting perspective, but lacks the power the trucks have when they loom over you. You can hear the sound of the city mix with the truck. Here’s an example sound effect of one of the trucks working at a distance. However I haven’t had a chance to get the close texture and power from these trucks. I’d recorded quite a few of these at a distance. These particular models load from the front, grabbing wide metal trash bins with forks then lifting and dumping the trash in the truck’s bed. A mixture of compressors, hydraulics and servos working with incredible strength and high pressure create a forceful mash of whines, groans and bone-shaking metal crashes. The interesting aspect about them to me are the intense sounds they make when they’re picking up trash. For such a common vehicle, they make particularly cool sound effects.

Three times a week, trash or recycling trucks visit most addresses in Toronto’s downtown core. Jump to the sound player and sound effect downloads right now. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I admire the sound of machines which work with incredible power within the confines of the precise engineering.

I have wanted to record a clean, close perspective of these machines without any interference. Despite the apparent mundane aspect of these sounds, capturing a field recording of these lumbering beasts has enough other unusual challenges to make it surprisingly tricky. Finding garbage truck sound effects in downtown Toronto isn’t a problem. You might observe that garbage trucks are not the most uncommon thing in cities.
