Ignition Sound Effects

Ignition sound effects for both meanings of the word. Turn the key and an engine cranks over and catches, in everything from old muscle cars to tractors. Or strike a match. A lighter flicks into life, and further up the scale a flamethrower lights with a roar, while designed fire bursts give magic spells their spark.

An engine start is a tiny story, with the starter whirring until the engine coughs and catches. Editors love a start that struggles first, for tension, and a clean instant one for a getaway. The car recordings keep the cabin around them, from the key going in to the first blip of the Exhaust, and a Motorcycle kicks into life in much the same way. On the fire side, a match strike is all scratch and fizz, while a flamethrower adds a soft whump as the fuel catches. Fantasy games borrow that whump for fire spells.
