About this sound

“220 Volt Circuit Shorted Out”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in September 2024

That's a big circuit shorting out in one electrical zap. There's almost a second of quiet before it hits, then it buzzes and drops off fast. It's really loud, so trim the quiet start if you're syncing it to a hit.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • There's 0.87 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 gets loudest 0.47 s after it starts (1.34 s into the file). Line that part up with the action.
  • It peaks at +1.4 dBTP, which is over full scale. Turn it down about 3 dB or put a limiter on it before you push it up in a mix.
  • It's −4.8 LUFS, about 13 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
