Original Cat Purring Recordings Needed

Posted 6 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I need original recordings of real cats purring for monetized YouTube relaxation videos. I am looking for clean, natural recordings of real cats. Not stock audio, AI-generated audio, copied sounds, or generic sound effects. The most important part of this project is the character of the purr. I am looking for a soft, warm, steady and relaxed purr that feels calming to listen to for a long time. What I need: - Real cat purring - Ideally 10+ minutes of usable purring per accepted recording - Quiet room - No talking, TV, music, traffic, noticeable background noise, or handling noises - A soft, steady, relaxed purr. Not harsh, distorted, overly bassy, rough, snoring-like, or noisy - Minimal sniffing, nose sounds, licking, meowing, movement, or interruptions - Ideally recorded while the cat is calm, resting, sleepy, lying down, or close to falling asleep - WAV preferred, ideally 48 kHz / 24-bit if possible, but clean high-quality recordings can also be considered - 30–60 seconds of room tone if possible - Raw/unprocessed audio must be included - A cleaned/processed version may also be included if you want, but please always include the raw recording as well This can be done by someone who: - owns a calm cat that purrs regularly - can record pets/animals cleanly - has field recording or audio recording experience - can help source original cat recordings with permission Rights: The recording must be original. I need perpetual worldwide commercial rights to edit, loop, process, mix, and monetize the audio in YouTube videos and other media. The delivered recording must be exclusive to this project. It must not be uploaded to sound libraries, sold as stock audio, or delivered to other clients. Workflow: In your proposal, I strongly prefer that you include a short sample, video, or audio clip that demonstrates the type of cat purring you can record. The sample will not be used in any project. I only need to hear the natural character of the purr before deciding whether to proceed. If the purr itself sounds suitable, I will create a small paid test milestone to check recording quality with a 1–2 minute original recording. If the test recording meets the requirements listed above, I will approve the test milestone and create a new milestone for one or more full recordings. Ongoing work is available for good recordings.
