All week long we've been playingthis sound, and asking you to guess what exactly it is and where exactly in the Bay Area we recorded it.
This auditory guessing game is part of Audiograph, a crowd-sourced collaborative radio project mapping the sonic signature of each of the Bay Area’s nine counties. By using the sounds of voices, nature, industry, and music, Audiograph tells the story of where you live, and the people who live there with you. Every Thursday, we reveal the origins of that week's sound on Crosscurrents, and here in weekly blog posts.
Listen above for the full answer...
VALERIE MONTES: It's been going for almost a hundred years. My mother-in-law was a member, so I've known about the club since about 1980. And I was working then, and I felt that I was much to young to belong to the Oakland's Women's Rowing Club because I thought, "Oh, it's a bunch of old ladies." Well, of course now, I'm an old lady, well, getting there.
Congratulations to this week's winner, Sybil Marcus. We'll have a new sound for you to guess and another chance to win next week.
