About this sound

If it doesn't fit, get a bigger hammer.

Here's a hammer banging on metal, a bunch of loud, bright clangs over about 20 seconds. Each hit rings a little, and there are short gaps in between, so it's got a working rhythm to it. Sounds like somebody's out in the shop fixing something.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It's done by 20.0 s. The last 0.35 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It peaks at +2.6 dBTP, which is over full scale. Turn it down about 4 dB or put a limiter on it before you push it up in a mix.
  • It's −11.5 LUFS, about 7 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
