#AudioMo: Tuesday, Aug 24, 2021: Smaaaash!
No this wasn't a break-in, more a break-out. A window fell out of the building opposite and smashed on the floor. This was captured by my outside stream mics:

This happened to me last year. Dad was replacing a part of my windows, used a pump up suction cup to hold the glass in place, per part of the procedure. He didn't like how loose it was, so wet the suction cup to get a better grip...Too good, in fact. The glass was literally sucked out by the suction cup, triggering it to shatter.

Was the 1st sound it banging on the floor or busted out of the opposite building?

That is awesome! I sure wish I had all of the weird stuff that happened around me recorded. Lol

@bryansmart I believe first/second floor, depending on your wording. UK first, US second. If not, then second/third but I think UK first.
