About this sound

Needs New Batteries

That's a busted lightsaber, about five seconds of a hum that won't settle down. It flickers and sputters the whole time like it can't hold a charge. It's low, thick and loud. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie right before it gives out.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It gets loudest 3.07 s after it starts (3.11 s into the file). Line that part up with the action.
  • It peaks at +0.2 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 −13.6 LUFS, about 5 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
