All environments offer audible repeating pulses across time scales

Evidence

The natural and urban environments are full of pulses and patterns. Try to record the most interesting pulses or patterns that you can find in your daily environment. Pulses are repeating sounds. They may be extremely rapid to extremely slow. The pulse may be natural, mechanical or electrical. — Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening, 277
