#cracking a can

I got some feedback about the Cracking Open a Can Notification Ringtone that I posted last night. The feedback boiled down to: it lacked the KCHKCHAAAAA that a satisfyingly cracked can can produce. And, somewhat reluctantly, I had to agree. So I had another go at it tonight. I cracked another can of Red Stripe. Then I laid down the audio of the new can on top of last night's can; did some more editing; and here we are. I still think it lacks some of the sizzle that lingers after the can's been cracked. But it definitely has more punch to it during the crack. Download it here. What do you think?

Opening a can (soda or beer or whatever) can produce a really satisfying sound. Don't you agree? So I made a ringtone of that good ol' ch-cracking sound! Listen to it above. And download it here. Since it is only one second long, it would make a good notification ringtone (like for receiving texts or IMs). 

This was made with a pint-size can of Red Stripe, and an Edirol R-09HR recorder. (note: it doesn't sound too great on my laptop speakers... but it sounds great with headphones on - hopefully it sounds good on my phone.)
