I think someone who lives away from a freeway or major thoroughfare and has an
existing sound recording set-up could make some modifications to it for a
reasonable sum. Folks like myself who routinely record the sounds they hear
don't find the editing process all that cumbersome. Also, Cornell LO offers a
free version of their Raven sonogram visualization software at their website.
The program is terrific!
