About this sound

Ping, then nothing..

That's a sonar sweep going out a few times over about 15 seconds. Each one starts with a loud, deep ping that slides and trails off, then there's a long quiet gap. Sounds like something you'd hear on a submarine in a sci-fi movie.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It's done by 13.6 s. The last 1.93 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • 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 −10.5 LUFS, about 8 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
