Download sound effects with real data behind them. Some were pulled straight off household electronics through an electromagnetic coil: static, hum, buzz and glitch, with upload and download effects among them. Others come from data moving over wireless, through solid state drives and down cables, turned into digital texture. A commanding battle robot voice sits alongside.
A download bar on screen wants a sound that feels like progress: a stream of digital chatter that stutters, picks up and then lands. The data transfer recordings work as that stream, and as interface sounds around it. The coil recordings are rougher, the hidden noise of a TV or a plug socket, which suits a hacker scene or a Hard Drive grinding away. More of that buzz hides in Electromagnetic. Under the robot lines, they make a mech sound properly wired in.
