I tried recording myself playing an upright piano this week, I was surprised at how much the stereo mic system picked up the creaking seat, jangling pedal mechanism, banging hammers, ticking clock, and chirping crickets outside. If I had hit the record button at a different time it would have also captured a little boy one room over yelling "DAD, CAN YOU STOP PLAYING THE PIANO? I'M TRYING TO SLEEP."
It's almost like... amplified mics have more sensitive hearing than humans...
There's nothing worse in sampling than touching a pair of denim pants... aside from maybe one of those crinkly jackets. Worst case, if the recordings have too much background noise, you could always upload to youtube as an ASMR video and get a million views.
