I figured it would be that one, or Frère Jacques. It sounds more like EVP, though.

The device used was called a "phonautograph." It was not capable of playing the sound back, it was used to study sound by "recording" it via a diaphragm onto some media such as glass strips coated with lampblack. Researchers were able to recreate the sounds into the video in the original post. More info here http://www.firstsounds.org/features/scott.php
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”
-Robert Heinlein

You might find this interesting. In this 1947 recording in DC, Howell at age 101, recalls his Civil War exploits as a cavalryman at Petersburg and Richmond and his memory of the assassination of President Lincoln from a Union POW camp. He enlisted at 16 to fight for the Confederacy in 1862, just two years after that phonautograph recording posted by the OP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHDfC-z9YaE&t=183sThanks for sharing that. What a great story! I also find it interesting from a linguistic perspective because I find it fascinating to see just how much American accents have changed over time.

What also is amazing is his memory of events so many years previously.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.
