Is this because you want those sounds or to get rid of them?

To get rid of them.

Tested it again and it does record and play but the recorded audio is really distorted and wobbly. I guess it would make sense that the sound quality is worse than at full speed but you can barely make out the speech.

The tape might be too loose.

I don't think so but that's kind of what it sound like. I tried with another tape and it's the same. I guess I'll just use the half speed for noise and full speed for everything else.

Being alive is dulled by the moment something wet goes down the throat.
