Hype sound effects

Hype sounds bring a stadium into a short video: a crowd that swells or cheers, a referee whistle, an arena buzzer, a horn blast, a drum roll that ends on a hit. They suit results, launches, challenges, sports content and any moment that deserves a reaction.

The crowds are synthetic and made in code. hype-drum-roll-hit is a complete reveal on its own: two seconds of roll that land on a hit, ready for a name or a result.

How to use them

• Put the reveal sound right at the end of a drum roll, on the frame the answer appears.
• hype-crowd-cheer settles quickly, so it suits a reaction; hype-crowd-swell builds for a big result.
• Starting volume: about 0.45 to 0.6; crowds are dense, so give them room in the mix.
• Buzzers and whistles mark ends and starts: end of a round, start of a challenge.
