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'.

This is another example of boosting a sound to clipping.
Created 3 versions from the original source sound by boosting to +16dB, +32dB and +45dB (about the maximum I could boost this sound to in Audacity). Sounds were saved then re-loaded and gain reduced to -8dB so the files created would not be too loud when played.
