About this sound
“Steam is my Nostalgia”
Here's a machine room with hissing steam the whole way through. It goes almost 23 seconds without a break, mostly a bright, airy fizz up top. Medium volume, so it sits fine under other sounds. Sounds like an old boiler room in a video game.
Editing notes
Measured from this file.
- There's 0.35 s of quiet before the sound starts. Trim that off if it has to land right on a cut, a hit or a button press.
- It's done by 22.3 s. The last 0.52 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
- It peaks at +0.8 dBTP, which is over full scale. Turn it down about 2 dB or put a limiter on it before you push it up in a mix.
- It's −23.9 LUFS, about 6 dB quieter than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So you'll probably need to turn it up when you swap it in.
