The video with the sounds you haven’t heard for 30 years

Neurologists say that memories based on sounds last longer in our memory and they are more powerful than simple images.

Surely it has happened to you: suddenly you hear a song that you haven’t heard in years, or the creak of a rusty hinge, and memories associated with that noise come to mind.

There are sounds that accompany us all our lives, and they never change: the echo of footsteps, applause, the song of a bird… But many others are associated with technology. And this technology expires quickly. It goes out of style, or is replaced by something much better.

There are other more subtle ones, like the opening of a VHS movie caseor ball machines submerged in water, which moved by pressing a button that applied air.
