Machine vs. Nature

I recorded the sound of the heater/air conditioner near the entrance of the Boat House at the Waterfront. When the professor asked us to listen to sounds that are not something we hear often or want to hear, I thought of the loud rumbling sound the boathouse produce. It's so loud that I could not hear the birds singing, and the water crashing against the dock. I think its kind of funny that one of the most peaceful and beautiful place on campus has a building that produces a horrible sound. I don’t know if the building makes that sound all the time so maybe it can be a beautiful place to sit and listen.
