Electricity

Electric Hums, Sparks and Lightning Strikes

Lightning cracks with thunder and rain, sparking lightning and electricity, hums in short, medium and long lengths with separate enter, exit and build files, fuses, electric impacts and blasts, plus an anime-style electricity sound. Line them up with lightning arcs and super lightning VFX.

Category information

Picking a file for hums and zaps

WAV: for hums that run under a whole scene, where any artifacts have time to be noticed, and for anything headed into a final mix.
MP3: fine for a quick zap or spark in a social edit.

How to sync electricity sound effects

Hit the Lightning Crack with the flash, then bring the thunder in after it, lower and darker for a distant strike.
For a live wire or an arc between two points, keep a steady hum underneath and drop short sparks on top, so it crackles over a constant buzz.
For a short circuit or a blown panel, put an Electricity Impact or Blast on the spark, then let a few smaller crackles sputter out after it.
For storms, cut the cracks against lightning VFX, and run Thunder Lightning And Rain under the wide shots.
