As with most things museum related - cheaper to make your own.

Contact the Silent Wings Museum in Lubbock, TX. They have something similar that creates battle sounds in their galleries.

Hello all,

 

Do any of your sites have sounds triggered by a motion sensor device that help create an ambiance and set the scene for visitors when they walk into a room in your museum space?

 

For example, we have colleagues in this region who have stables that have been converted into a museum. When visitors walk into the stables a motion sensor picks up on it and then triggers a device which plays pre-recorded horse sounds like neighing and whinnying. It is very impressive.

 

I have heard of other museums doing this, but I can't remember which ones. I would like to look into this motion sensor technology some more and receive input from different sites.

 

Thank you for your assistance!

 

Helen
