What Does Motorboating Sound Like?

[Ryfly]

What does it sound like? Anyone have a audio clip?

Sounds just like a short burst of digital audio being heard through an analog only radio.

Well, usually you hear a lot of water slapping upside the boat.

It's a low frequency oscillation that can sound like someone blowing rasperries, ir can even sound like a very low note played on a tuba. If the frequency is really low, it an sound like a small engine putting.

In reference to scanners and digital audio, it refers to hearing the digital noise that is a voice transmission, before it's been decoded back into voice. I never considered it to be a motorboat type sound until people on RR started calling it that - it was most often referred to as a diesel engine before the motorboating comment came around.

There's a sample of digital Motorola IMBE audio (sometimes called P16) here.

In reference to non-scanner and digital audio.....
