COMMENTARY
3-12. Gate noises. A wide variety of metallic and wooden gates. Often the gate itself is quite silent, only the latch is heard opening and shutting. All examples are clear - the ambient level in each case is very low.
13. Ambience before and after bell rings is extremely quiet: bird ambience, no traffic. The last few attacks are noticeably softer, and at half the normal tempo, as the clapper hits only one side of the bell.
