About this sound

“Real Bro”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in August 2024

This is a jackhammer going at it for about 10 seconds straight. It's a fast, gritty rattle that never lets up, and it's really loud. Turn it down a bit before you drop it under dialogue.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It gets loudest 4.37 s after it starts (4.38 s into the file). Line that part up with the action.
  • It's −8.5 LUFS, about 10 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
