About this sound

“woah. That penguin sounds confused.”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in July 2020

Just a penguin making a run of short, jumpy calls. It's about 7 and a half seconds long, mostly three bursts of chatter, and it's really loud, right up near the top. You might want to turn it down before you drop it in.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It gets loudest 4.7 s after it starts (4.72 s into the file). Line that part up with the action.
  • It peaks at +4.7 dBTP, which is over full scale. Turn it down about 6 dB or put a limiter on it before you push it up in a mix.
  • It's −0.5 LUFS, about 18 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
