We did it... thanks to the enthusiasm, patience and skills of Pascal Pirotte, an experienced paraglider and long-time friend of mine. Pascal kindly offered to record an important facet of the paragliding experience, and share it with all of us: the sound of paragliding!
That wasn't an easy task, as it took many flights to get it right. Audio professionals will confirm: Wind is one of the most difficult sounds to record. Not only does it easily saturate a microphone's membrane, but it never sounds quite right when fixed in a recording (what a microphone —hears— is totally different from the effect that is experienced in reality, with air actually flowing into your pinnae). Then came the myNoise challenge on top of the technical difficulty: Recording one good sound was not enough; ten were needed in order to cover all the sliders!

● WOW, that's sooo cool!!! Sounds like I'm paragliding at my own house! I really would like to but I'm afraid of heights.
