About This Sound

Spaceship Hull is the interior of a large vessel under way: a deep rumble with a metallic ring in the structure, slowly breathing as the engines cycle. The comb filter gives the hull its ring, the resonant filters at 80, 160 and 240 Hz add a low tonal hum, and everything moves at a glacial pace.

The color is 3.8 with grey EQ on. A comb filter with a 15 millisecond delay, 70 percent feedback and 35 percent mix supplies a ring around 67 Hz and its harmonics, and resonant filters at 80, 160 and 240 Hz with a Q of 15 and 30 percent mix add the hum. The envelope rises over 3 seconds, holds for 5 at 60 percent and releases over 4, a thirteen-second cycle, with a sine pulse at 0.03 Hz swelling every 33 seconds.

It is a favourite for sleep among science-fiction fans and for anyone who likes a low tonal element. Space Station in the mechanical category is the unfiltered version, and Cave Ambience uses a similar comb and resonant recipe at full brown with a longer 16-second cycle.

Best Used For

Try this: Raise the resonant mix to 0.5 and the hum comes forward as a clearly pitched engine note.
