About this sound

Staring at it won't make it go any faster.

That's a microwave running for close to a minute. A steady whir the whole time, with some beeps and clicks in there too. Fairly bright and loud, nice and clear. Works for any kitchen scene where somebody's heating up leftovers.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • 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 −14.5 LUFS, about 4 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
