About this sound

“It's best not to drive impaired”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in September 2023

Here's a car crash. Three big hits across about 9 seconds, pretty much back to back, with bits of debris scattering after each one. It's loud, and the last one rings out right before the end. Good for a wreck scene or a game collision.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It gets loudest 3.48 s after it starts (3.52 s into the file). Line that part up with the action.
  • It's done by 8.62 s. The last 0.44 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 −13.7 LUFS, about 5 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
