About this sound

“Yay..”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in March 2025

That's some pretty unenthusiastic clapping. Just under 5 seconds of a few hands going at it, uneven and kinda thin, with no crowd cheering behind it. It's on the quiet side. Good for when a joke falls flat.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It peaks at +0.6 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 −21.5 LUFS, about 3 dB quieter than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So you'll probably need to turn it up when you swap it in.
