About this sound

Don't fall asleep at your desk, the boss is watching

That's a fluorescent light buzzing away. It's a low, even electrical hum with a faint edge on top, going for almost 20 seconds without really changing. It's very quiet, so it works best way in the background. Good for an office, a hallway or a basement scene.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • There's 0.41 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 −38.7 LUFS, about 21 dB quieter than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So you'll probably need to turn it up when you swap it in.
