About this sound
“Rebar”
Here's two short metal squeaks with a lot of quiet around them. They're high, scrapey and pretty loud, in a clip that's about 7 seconds. There's about a second and a half of nothing at the start, so trim that if you're syncing it to something.
Editing notes
Measured from this file.
- There's 1.59 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 gets loudest 2.28 s after it starts (3.87 s into the file). Line that part up with the action.
- It's done by 4.14 s. The last 3.11 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
- 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 −13.9 LUFS, about 4 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
