Hammer Driving a Nail
A few hammer blows drive a nail into wood, with a ringing steel tick and increasingly low, solid thuds.

How it's made
- Source
- steel hammer on a nail head; a 0.25 ms attack and 2-4 ms band-limited contact burst.
- Body
- wood flexural modes near 180, 430, 790 and 1270 Hz decay in 35-170 ms; a broad low thud couples the nail into the board. A separate nail bank at 2.3-8 kHz rings for 35-210 ms.
- Envelope
- 3-4 blows over roughly 1 s, each with a 12-35 ms granular wood-fibre compression layer. Higher modes die first; the final blow is more damped as the head seats against the wood.
- Movement
- successive blows lower the wood modes by up to 24 percent and reduce the nail ring; this represents increasing coupling to the board, rather than a literal nail-length pitch model.
- Variation
- seeded timing jitter, impact strength and mode detuning prevent identical repeated hits. Controls vary board mass, contact hardness, nail audibility, strike count and sequence span.
- Presets
- light finishing taps, firm hardwood driving, heavy framing blows and a bright exposed nail. All variants are dry, close and mono so scene acoustics can be added downstream.
