Boom sound effect
Woven SFX has 4 free boom sound effects, which also work as impact, hit and bass drop sounds: an explosion, a bass impact, a bass drop (the file id is base-drop) and a dull thud. All are CC0 WAV files you can download and use in any video. Press play on a card to preview them in your browser.

When to use a boom sound in a video
- Put explosion on the frame of a visible blast or on a hard cut to a big shot. It runs about 3.2 seconds, so leave room after that frame.
- Use bass-impact or base-drop on a title slam or on the first beat of a new section. Use one per section rather than one per cut.
- Use dull-thud for small physical hits, such as an object landing on a table or a text card dropping into place.
- Keep booms rare. If every cut has one, none of them lands, so save them for the one moment where the video turns.
Use it in your edit
In any editor
Press the WAV button on a card to download the file, then place it on an audio track in your editor. Line the start of the sound up with the frame where the action happens. The catalog lists a default volume of 0.45 for explosion as a starting gain; change it only if the mix needs it.
