Picking up an 8-track tape, inserting the tape into a portable 8-track player (in this case, a Chelco TP-520), waiting a while, and then removing it. Between the insertion and removal, the hum of the motor can be heard. This was something I had recorded years ago with my laptop microphone, but the sound is still surprisingly clean for what it is! Just love this vintage tape equipment.
