Tone Sound Effects

Tone sound effects for sounds that hold steady and hang in the air. Struck bowls ringing out into a long, pure hum. Dark drones and tension tones that sit under horror. Room tone from a grand old library, all hush and distant footsteps. Interface tones for apps and alerts, too. A broad tag.

Tone means different things depending on who's asking. To a dialogue editor it's room tone, the quiet sound of a space that glues edits together, and the library recordings here are a fine example. To a horror designer it's a drone that never lets up. Both are covered. The struck bowls are something else again, real metal and crystal that ring on for ages, ideal for Meditation scenes or anything mystical. Add a little Resonance and they fill a temple. Apps get short interface tones and alerts.
