American, but, I find British politics fascinating.

What is the kettle drum sound in the audio?

[@EugenusRex]

Hello. Please could you specify a time code for the sound you are referring to? Thank you.

[@kevinivers]

It is randomly all throughout the video and the other audios on this channel of Thatcher speaking in the Commons pre-video. It’s especially noticeable when you listen with noise cancelling headphones.

@@EugenusRex The first in this video is 1:02

@@kevinivers I am afraid that I did not source the audio, nor did I make any alterations to the audio once downloaded. I would presume that what you are hearing is simply diegetic sound that may be a bit more obvious due to the ceiling microphones of the time and the manner in which the audio was more recently digitally compressed in order to make sure Mrs. Thatcher's speech is constantly at the forefront. I did the compression to the audio in this attached video myself, using the method I have described above: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioaTfYWYf9-af5Y If you could let me know if the sound you are hearing pertains to this video also, it will make it much easier for me to determine what exactly it is that you are hearing. Thank you for your interest and I hope that that has been of help to you.

@@EugenusRex First let me be clear that my original comment was not at all a criticism of the profuction of the post. It was from a sincere curiosity about this ambient sound inside the Commons as the session went on. I remember listening to Parliamentary debates on BBC World Service on shortwave radio in the 1970s and radio listening required an active imagination to picture what you were hearing. But I never heard these things with such rich clarity as you’ve achieved here. This sound I kept noticing jydt became an intense curiosity and I had to comment to see if anyone had an idea of what is was. If helpful, I have my Bose headphones on now and can give some time stamps… see comment below this one in a moment pls

An absolutely pathetic contribution from Labour's George Foulkes. Ludicrous, self-regarding, grandstanding garbage.

[@EveHenleySpread]

I’m being pedantic but I don’t think Tony Benn was born in 1950

[@EugenusRex]

Apologies, it should read April 3rd, 1925. There are a few mistakes of a similar nature in this series (a consequence of the stupid manner in which I set about making them). If you find any other errors please leave a comment and I will leave an annotation. Thanks for watching.

@@EugenusRex oh don’t worry I didn’t mean to be critical.. I just kept seeing that thinking he’d probably still be alive if he was born then haha! Thank you very much for the upload, enjoyed it immensely.. this was from the days when the house was full of heavyweight ‘big beasts’ unlike today!
