DUST Search - The Sound of Dust

Oooh! Let's see how I do.

Interesting how the AR sounds.

Guessed Shotgun, was surprised by the Flaylock.

Nailed Forge Gun. One of the first weapons I picked up in closed beta. Never forget it.

Got the Locus Grenade but at 50% speed. It was hard to hear anything after the pin was pulled at 25%. (Clicking was soft first pass.)

Got the Laser Rifle at 25%. Constant buzzing? Must be firing your lazors.

(At this point I think we're doing weapon sounds.)

WTF? That's not a weapon! UGH. Failed the dropship one.

What weird weapon was that? Oh a bolt pistol. Yeah that's a little too new to me in order to know what it sounds like at slow speed so I'll take my fail on that.

I initially heard it and narrowed it down to an AR variant, the Assault CR, or the HMG. After listening to it for a bit, between timing the bullets to determine ROF and listening to approximately how many total bullets fired, I guessed HMG at the last second. Yes!

I heard it and thought of hacking. Soft beeping and all, but the initial tones didn't match up. When the huge metallic noise came up I was then decisive it was NOT hacking. When there was a rushing sound, my mind immediately went through the whole sound clip in reverse, 4 clunks, soft beeping of a lock, higher tones indicating target being found and initiating lock-on sequence, gotta be the Swarm Launcher! The 50% version just solidified my guess.

Hacking? No. Maybe? Now it's kinda ambient. 25%. Whoa what? I don't know. Oh the cloak field. Well, that was an odd one.

So my grand total was 5 sounds out of 9 guessed correctly at slow speeds!

It can be easy to ignore all the work that went in to every little detail we may take for granted. I've thrown together just a few sounds I found intriguing and slowed them down to different speeds. The results are highly entertaining: I give to you, the Dust Sound Challenge! See how many you can guess. Most are not hard, but I think this illustrates the amount of work behind the scenes. What are your favorite sounds? The Sound of Dust

At first I was only going to do weapons, but then I remembered how much I loved the sound of dropships and it took off from there. 5/9 good job! The Sound of Dust

Adobe? For the ambient sounds themselves I used Audacity. Drag and dropped the video file, applied Paulstretch and adjusted for duration. Slapped on a background and voila! Instant soothing vibes The Sound of Dust
