Crashes + Debris

Breaking Glass and Metal Crashes

Breakage from impact to cleanup: shattering windows, a thrown bottle, a dropped glass, glass shoved and swept up, reversed glass breaks, metallic crashes, a collapse and trash can lids popping. Cut them against glass VFX and object destruction elements so picture and sound break together.

Category information

Stacking crashes from WAVs

Big crashes are usually several sounds stacked, and MP3 artifacts add up with every layer, so build them from WAVs. A single MP3 lid pop is fine in a social clip.

How to build a crash sound

Reverse Breaking Glass plays a shatter backward: use it for a rewind effect, or for a broken window that pieces itself back together.
Combine a Metallic Crash with glass debris for car wrecks and smashed doors; on its own, the metal can sound hollow.
Use Sweeping Glass for the aftermath, when a character starts clearing up, to carry the audience into the next scene.
For heavier destruction, add impact sounds or explosion sound effects.
