Video Eplores The Sounds of Retro Toys, Gadgets, and Electronics From the Past

If you grew up in the analog era, there's a good chance the clack of a View-Master, the whirl of a cassette player, or the static hum of a shortwave radio is burned into your memory.

In a recent video, Rhetty for History takes us on a nostalgic journey through the forgotten sounds of classic toys, gadgets, and electronics that have quietly faded from daily life.

From the familiar ring of a rotary telephone to the satisfying click of an SLR camera, these sounds once filled our homes and shaped our experiences.

“Certain noises will be permanently engrained in our memories. However, many of these sounds kids won’t know. If you grew up with these items then there is no way you could ever forget them.”

It’s a cool reminder of how audio history is just as important as visual, and how videos like this are now preserving these audio artifacts.
