  • where can I find this alarm sound?

    From Al Stuill@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 15 17:41:55 2022
    Good afternoon,

    I am looking for an alarm sound like this one:

    http://sndup.net/dx9d

    It was featured in several nuclear movies from the 1980's including "The
    Day After" and "The Plutonium Incident" however I have never been able
    to find it in higher quality.

    If someone could point to possible sources for this sound, I thank you
    in advance. I believe it to be an actual alarm, but narrowing it down
    to the particular industry where it was used has been a problem (or
    perhaps a ship, etc).

    Thank you in advance,
    Al

    Sorry nothing particularly helpful, but if not able to find, surely it's
    hardly something that would not benefit significantly from higher
    fidelity anyway ...

    Sounds like some sort of Klaxon Horn in a lot of reverb.

    Zapsplat has some free soundclip downloads, not sure of any exact matches but perhaps something close:

    It's a bell, or maybe a large pipe being struck. There's distortion and enough compression to let the ringout be as loud as the strike.

    If you notice the *sound* it's wrong.

    I can't hear anything remotely like a bell in any of the clips in
    this thread. Are you talking about the OP audio file?

    Yes. Last night I saw an action scene wherein an empty 55 gal. drum was knocked around. It, too, sounded 'like' the "alarm".

    Um that's a bit of a tangent to the thread, not to mention nonsensical.
    Which one - there are 4 - you want the 'chosen one ' ? Try a shop.

    Also a bit odd that a website called AudiPro does not seem to feature
    products, or even whole categories, that could be described as 'pro' !

    The louder the sound, the shorter the time. So, shhh!
