About this sound

“Screeeeeeeech!”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in January 2024

That's a set of brakes screeching, about 14 seconds of it. After a short quiet start it gets really loud, a long squeal that climbs and thins out as it goes, with only a few short breaks. Sounds like somebody stopping way too late.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • There's 0.78 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 12.8 s. The last 1.41 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It peaks at +2.0 dBTP, which is over full scale. Turn it down about 3 dB or put a limiter on it before you push it up in a mix.
  • It's −3.9 LUFS, about 14 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
