If you mentally remove those warps off the old recording, you can clearly hear that at that time bells actually sounded better. They were newer and were of their best pitch.

Can't really know what frequencies were amplified in those old recorders. It may be an involuntary edit because of time passed since then and the recording medium

Logically, either the bells sounded the same as they do now or they sounded even better, owing to being fairly new. But the poor quality of Victorian sound recording equipment does them no favours. If anything, it makes Big Ben sound drunk.

If the noises and warping audio were removed, the bells would have been very clear to hear, especially Big Ben. The very first decade of the 20th century was when vehicles became to be made across the world, and that means Big Ben truly was heard for many miles as told by the tower’s owners. But now with London being very busy 24/7, the bells can be heard at least across the river in London, but not that much further than that.

This answers a lot of questions I had. Whenever I hear the present day chimes I hear F A G C, F G A F, A F G C, C G A F. I read somewhere that it’s actually supposed to be tuned a half step lower. When I heard the 1890 chimes I heard the notes as E, G#, F#, B, and so on. I guess after 160 years of the bells being struck in the exact same spots the tuning has gone out of wack. The bells may be tuned in E but today it sounds like they’re chiming in F.

In 1976 the Chiming train suffered a catastrophic failure which broke the drum that rings out the Westminster chimes. As a result, they had to have that particular part remade which slowed down the chimes by a fraction. If u listen to any recording of the chimes before 1976 you will hear that they are a tiny bit faster then the present day chimes.

@digitalmetadata13 жыл бұрын
The recording was made atop the clock tower itself. There was no electronic amplification until 1925. The 1890 recording is the sound energy itself against a diaphragm to which the attached stylus cuts directly sound sound wave to a rotating wax cylinder.
