About this sound

Pull up a seat, stay a while.

This is a chair getting dragged across a hardwood floor in under 4 seconds. There are two scrapes with a short gap between them. They're deep and rumbly, not scratchy, and pretty loud. Good for somebody pulling up a seat at the table.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • There's 0.51 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 gets loudest 0.3 s after it starts (0.81 s into the file). Line that part up with the action.
  • It's done by 3.07 s. The last 0.65 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It peaks at +0.4 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 −8.5 LUFS, about 10 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
