About this sound

“This is a Stihl chainsaw running on liquid gasoline.”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in February 2023

This one's a chainsaw going for about 35 seconds, and it's really loud. The throttle opens up and drops back a few times, so it's not one flat run. It sits more in the middle than bright. Good for yard work or a cabin-in-the-woods scene.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It's done by 34.9 s. The last 0.62 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It peaks at +0.9 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 −10.1 LUFS, about 8 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
