Rattlesnake sound effects

Many tiny hollow segments shaking against each other, continuous and even. Dry throughout, with nothing wet or metallic in it.

Starting slow and speeding into a fast buzz. The acceleration is what tells the audience the animal has noticed them.

A two-second warning that starts and stops abruptly. Use it on a cut where the full rattle would overstay.

Thinner and further off, with the dry edge softened. Places the animal somewhere in the scene rather than at your feet.

Air forced out slowly by a breathing animal, dry and even. Layer it under a rattle and the snake reads as much larger.

A fast rush through dry grass ending in one soft impact. Over in under a second, which is the point.
