Static

Another sampling of real film static, lifted from an old public domain film. Lots of noise, some random pops, nothing artificial. This is a perfect bed for any clip you need to "dirty" up a bit. Or as ambiance for your period film. Notice this is "film" static, not vinyl static. You won't hear the repeating 33 1/3 rpm pops from vinyl. But it's not boring white noise, either. It's pure, warm, genuine, film static. Just what you're looking for!

This sound effect is currently being used at the ending of all MORTradio videos that are being posted on YouTube.

Believe us when we say that this film static sound is the effect you want if you are looking for the warm film sound of the early 1970's. It is perfect for simulating film reel beginnings or endings. For us, we are currently using it during our "MPAA Rating" screen.

Again, it is a genuine film sound. Great work.
