Phone recordings can turn a warm Windsor idle into a crunchy buzz. Does backing the phone away bring out the pulse better than pointing it straight at the tips? Post a pair from the same parked car with the distance and wind direction in the caption.

Keep the quieter lead-in on each take. It helps listeners tell a genuine rough edge from the phone adjusting its gain.
