SkillShare Sound Design Create Whoosh Sound Effects

Whoosh Sound Effects. These are sounds that are short transition effects, that sounds like a whoosh. Like something flying by fast in the air. You often hear the whoosh effect used as a sound effect in movies. For example in fights when someone swings his fist or weapon towards the opponent, making a whoosh sound in the movement, followed by the punch or hit sound.

The whoosh sound effect is mainly made up from white noise, like the sound of the wind for example. Meaning it doesn't really have a tonal pitch, at least not that prominent. But it has movement in it, that quickly changes its tonal center, and sometimes even the stereo field.

The whoosh sound effects is very effective before a transition point, but since these are shorter sounds, they also work great to simply introduce a new part in your music. And especially just before a big hit or impact type sound.

You will now learn from practical live examples and demonstrations: how to create your own whoosh type sound effects in various styles. So let's continue in the next video, right now!
