About this sound
“This is a hand cranked Air Raid Siren”
That's a hand-cranked air raid siren. It winds up fast, wails for about 10 seconds with no breaks and is loudest around 8 seconds in, then winds back down. It's loud. Good for a war scene or a nuke warning.
Editing notes
Measured from this file.
- There's 0.16 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 7.56 s after it starts (7.72 s into the file). Line that part up with the action.
- It's done by 9.71 s. The last 0.44 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
- It's −10.7 LUFS, about 8 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
