A tree recorded by David Haskell.

A callery pear tree in NYC. Haskell made a recording of the tree by attaching an accelerometer was attached to the tree’s bark, picking up vibrations in the solid tree, not the air. In the recording, we hear the subway (vibrations coming up through the ground) and the sound of a sparrow (vibrations arriving in the air). ©David Haskell
