About this sound

“Click click BOOM!”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in May 2020

This is a shotgun getting racked, two sharp metal clicks with a little pause between them. The clip's about three seconds, and there's over a second of quiet before the first one. It's bright and snappy, so trim the start if you need it to land on time.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • There's 1.23 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 done by 1.79 s. The last 1.4 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It peaks at +0.8 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.
