Electromagnetic Sound Effects

Electromagnetic sound effects come from the noise machines make that your ears never catch. Put a coil pickup or a specialist microphone near everyday devices and light sources and they start to glitch and buzz. Hidden stuff. Some recordings are left raw, and others have been reworked into zaps, interface beeps, radio transmissions and sci-fi explosions.

Anything running on electricity gives off a field, and a coil pickup turns that field into sound. That's how the raw recordings here were made, with the pickup held close to machines going about their normal business. The results glitch and buzz, close cousins of Interference and Static. The designed side goes further. Coil recordings get rebuilt into crackles and plasma buzzes for Tesla coils and arcs, light source signals become explosions with a cyberpunk edge, and there are power fluctuations for a ship's systems. It all suits hacking scenes and any sci-fi interface that has to sound wired into something real.
