About this sound
“Thick and Rich”
This is a bunker alarm going off for about 11 seconds straight. It sweeps up and down a few times, more like an old klaxon than a beep. It's really loud, so turn it down before you play it.
Editing notes
Measured from this file.
- It's −6.6 LUFS, about 12 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
