Recording tuk-tuk interior sounds!

If you’ve ever been to Thailand, then there is no doubt you’ve seen and heard a tuk-tuk! In the future, this mode of transportation will be electric so it’s important to record these authentic sounds while I still can.

In the past, I recorded street ambience several times and I always had tuk-tuks driving sounds but this time I wanted to capture audio from the interior. Depending on the time of day, the outcome would be different which is why I recorded both in the day and night.

Tuk-tuk interior sounds in the daytime

What I love about this recording is that this Tuk Tuk is one of the older versions so you can listen to the old suspension and the squeaking sounds after hitting holes and speed bumps. Plus when the driver would shift gears and accelerates after stopping at traffic lights was fun to record (and listen to.)

Recording at night

This one was a little bit more difficult because the driver had no idea what I was going to do. I asked him for a 10-minute drive around the neighborhood but we arrived already in just 6 minutes.

Luckily I got the starting engine sounds and as we drove. Fortunately, I was able to communicate to drive faster which was great to have. Since it was such a short trip, there were only a few curves and we were already back to the starting point.
