About this sound

“Don't let the airlock hit you on the way out”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in October 2023

That's an airlock opening and closing. About 12 seconds of hissing air and moving parts, then the seal shuts again. It comes in a few stages with short gaps, and it's bright, hissy and pretty loud. Sounds like something off a sci-fi spaceship.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It's done by 10.7 s. The last 0.99 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It's −14.0 LUFS, about 4 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
