About this sound

“Either impact will work”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in January 2025

That's two single jackhammer hits, one after the other. Each one's short, loud and bright, a hard crack instead of a long rumble, with quiet around them. The whole thing's a little over 3 seconds, and either hit works on its own.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • There's 0.5 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's done by 2.43 s. The last 0.87 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It peaks at +1.7 dBTP, which is over full scale. Turn it down about 3 dB or put a limiter on it before you push it up in a mix.
