About this sound

“Acme Whistle”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in May 2024

Two blasts on an old steam train whistle. About 3 seconds total, with no dead air between them. It's airy with a little wobble, and it's loud. Good for a train pulling out of the station.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It gets loudest 2.6 s after it starts (2.62 s into the file). Line that part up with the action.
  • It's −11.2 LUFS, about 7 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
