About this sound

“Crap”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in February 2025

Here's a jackhammer trying to start up and then quitting on you. A quick run of hammering blows in about 4 seconds, gritty and kinda bright. It's on the quiet side. Now that sounds like a rough Monday on the job.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It's −25.7 LUFS, about 8 dB quieter than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So you'll probably need to turn it up when you swap it in.
