alt Hacker NewsI was looking for typewriter sounds and several of them are "artistic renderings" that are completely useless as a form of documentation.

There's e.g. this one: http://www.mrgory.info/sm/ (path may look odd, but it probably means sound machine/museum/memory or something).

Quite a lot of sample sound strange. Some even have echo or other weird artifacts. I hope it's not AI generated.

Yes, I came to say the same thing, not just typewriter - it's a great idea but I wish they had the original recordings by themselves and not overlayed with ambient music.

Aaaahhh ... the IBM Selectric. Fond memories.
"Each sound in the project is recomposed and reimagined by artists"
Completely agree! I would have much preferred original sounds, or - if anything - sounds taken from original recordings but restored to compensate for the bad recording equipment at the time of recording.
