Strange Sounds

A collection of strange sounds; curious, unearthly, peculiar, unfamiliar.

How can one define these words when it comes to sound? Many people think that all sounds are strange when they have been detached from their source. This is not completely true as I believe there are sounds that are recognizable even if the source is not visible and on the other hand sounds can be associated with more than one sources. The aim of the cabinet though is to treat sounds as objects no matter what caused them. Therefore the right question for one to make is which object would belong into a wunderkammer? Something that people are not familiar with would be one appropriate answer. Something that would cause wonderment because of several characteristics and qualities it possesses.

I believe the same question should be asked regarding sound objects. The Sound Cabinet of Curiosities may contain the sound of a commonly used item, which though may be rare and having the qualities to cause the expected reactions for the people that will explore the collection.

Please feel free to write your opinion about this subject as this is the column on which the Wunderkammer will be built upon. Additionally I would like you to...

TELL ME A SOUND YOU CONSIDER STRANGE!
