This pack contains several sounds that were inspired by this sound:

It brought to my attention that massive gain boosts could be used to bring out tiny background sounds or digital artifacts. Gain boosting a sound to the point of clipping also opens up additional creative possibilities, which I explore in this pack.
As sound sources I have selected a variety of test tones. I wanted sounds that were simple and fairly invariant, but also wanted to avoid the 'pure sine wave tone'.

A simple 'synth' sound.

For this sound I used part of a distorted tone sound

with a volume envelope applied.

and a small section of the heavily distorted sound

To create an initial percussive transient.
