About this sound
“Sometimes it needs a rest”
Just water dripping off a watermill wheel that's stopped turning. Over about 23 seconds you get a bunch of single plinks with long quiet gaps between them. It's pretty soft, so it works better as a background detail than a main sound.
Editing notes
Measured from this file.
- There's 0.47 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 21.9 s. The last 1.42 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
- It's −30.3 LUFS, about 12 dB quieter than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So you'll probably need to turn it up when you swap it in.
