About this sound

“Now that's a construction site if I ever heard of one.”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in June 2023

This is a busy construction site, about 44 seconds of machines, banging and metal clanking all piled on each other. There's no quiet spot anywhere, and it's loud and bright the whole time. Works behind a city street or a building going up.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It peaks at +1.6 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 −10.6 LUFS, about 8 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
