About this sound

“I caught the Flu”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in February 2025

That's a woman coughing like it takes some effort. A few strained coughs come in under 4 seconds, with short pauses that make up about half the clip. It's quiet and dry with no harsh peaks. Works for a scene where someone's struggling to catch their breath.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It's done by 3.42 s. The last 0.33 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It's −27.4 LUFS, about 9 dB quieter than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So you'll probably need to turn it up when you swap it in.
