About this sound
“Thunder rumbles in the distance”
Here are two big thunder cracks over about 24 seconds, each one rolling off into a long, low rumble. There's a lot of quiet between the strikes, so they hit pretty hard when they come. Good for a storm rolling in.
Editing notes
Measured from this file.
- There's 0.29 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's done by 18.0 s. The last 6.37 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
- It peaks at +0.3 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 −14.8 LUFS, about 3 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
