#2 Soma Ether vs Make Elektrosluch Circuit - Hunting for weird electronic sounds in the wild

Soma Laboratory have designed and released a lovely, boutique sound hunting device that listens in to the sound of localised radio waves, interference, and electro magnetic emissions. There is a video they produced about it here, worth viewing: Soma – Ether:    • ETHER V1 by SOMA laboratory   The Ether is in their words, “ETHER is a wide-band pocket receiver that turns the electromagnetic landscape around you into a live soundscape that you control and manipulate by walking around and moving ETHER with your hand. More info and how to buy: https://somasynths.com/ether/” Having been placed on a waiting list for my own Ether, I remembered a simple circuit that Make published, showing how to use inductors to ‘listen’ for sounds that are generated by everyday electronic products. Having put the build off for three years, I went and made it. Make – Elektrosluch https://makezine.com/projects/weekend... This video details the findings of the Elektroslutch build, making it, testing it and comparing it to the potential of the Ether… Having seen the not so great results of the initial tests with the Elektroslutch, this suggests the Ether might hold some promise (Note: Middle of nowhere – Where do those sounds come from?!?!):    • ETHER V1 by SOMA laboratory
