Did you take a liberal definition of "downloads directory" like the other guy?
Nope, are you weirdly angry for no reason?
No. That's just a long time ago.
I can't imagine you're on the same machine, so I guess you must have rolled over your files in such a way that the download directory was still preserved?
Fair enough - didn't mean to sound confrontational.
I definitely didn't download the files that long ago, that's just when they were created. I probably downloaded them in 2020 or 2021.
The real mystery of my download folder is only a few weeks old, and was caused by a year long obsession I've developed - it's called "what is this.mp3"
If anyone knows what this sample is called, please let me know! It's the new craze I guess
That’s the “wheel up signal” from the blu mar ten junglejungle sample pack. Classic sound in jungle and uk garage music.

The sample is taken from this song
It was originally recorded from a saxon soundsystem clash in 1993

At 1h3m36s
Also known as a “dub siren”
Thank you! Was driving me mad
Where were you hearing it?
Live dnb mixes generally, or occasionally in bass heavy tracks (something abrasive like G Jones)
Fair enough, yeah it’s generally a nod to the jamaican influence in UK soundsystem and rave culture
Another one you’ll hear a lot is the weird horn sample from the intro of ray keith’s terrorist (the fat clean reese bass just before the drums come in is sampled all over the place too)
I was playing call of duty last night (I know) and I realized that there is a ~500ms sample of the wheel up signal that plays every time someone gets a killstreak. I feel like I'm descending into madness now - Pandora's box has been opened. Where else will this sample show up - is no audio safe?
Mate I’m Crim in MP… nothing to be ashamed of haha! No fucking way!? In MWIII?
Yup, MWIII! Maybe I'm losing it, but I swear they used a single cycle of it quietly to notify an event (i'm not 100% sure what the trigger is, i thought kill streaks but it might actually be related to dying)
Haha I’ll have to listen out for it!
I’ve been hooked on this tune for a couple of weeks and it’s got both the wheel up signal and the ray keith squeak lol
