About this sound

“I Believe Thomas Edison invented one”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in September 2024

This is a phonograph winding down, about 18 seconds of it. It slows and sags and wobbles all over the place, kinda hollow and dull, and it's on the quiet side. Sounds like something out of a creepy old house.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • There's 0.48 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 17.6 s. The last 0.74 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It's −23.7 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.
