Bug Insect Swarm

Sounds like a classic Hollywood swarm of insects.

I accidentally got this sound by curiously playing all of a friend's dialogue files simultaneously. The "S's" stood out so I was going to de-ess it, but did a high pass instead. I thought the torrent of S's sounded like a pretty good bug or bat swarm, and I thought of you, dear freesounder. So here we are.

No need to credit me; I don't know why so many people demand that here. It just creates extra work, gets in the way of creating art, and c'mon, you're not gonna get famous or get work from your freesound sound effect. No ones gonna be like, "that bug swarm sound...Search the credits, find me that guy!!"

If you'd like to do something and you think a hybrid TTRPG/Audio Drama sounds interesting, you can check out my podcast, Sonic Realms. Drop a review and some stars if you're feeling extra generous.

Thanks!
