The art of Foley is so impressive and so important. I remember as a kid, playing around with an OLD holmes brand window fan , with 6 blades. stick a clear flexible pipe to it and listening to it. through the tube. It sounded like an ENTIRE 1940s airforce flying at max cruising altitude overhead. Very Foley, and I didn't even understand what that was!
