Falling sound effect

Two seconds of air moving past a heavy mass, then one dull arrival. This is the card most edits want, because the travel time is what tells an audience how far the thing actually fell.

A thin tone sliding down in pitch to a small landing. The pitch slide does all the work here, which is why it reads as a fall even over a shot where nothing visibly moves.

Six padded thuds arriving in an uneven, quickening order. The unevenness is the point: a fall that hits on a steady rhythm sounds staged, and a listener catches it immediately.

A short knock and three fast clatters as a small object settles. Reach for it when the fall is a domestic accident rather than a drama, and the whole event is over in two seconds.

Hundreds of small stones arriving one after another with no gaps. It is the sound of a thing that has already given way, and it runs long enough to hold a shot on its own.

A hard plunge and the bubbles closing over it. The tail after the entry is what makes the object feel heavy, because a light one would sit on the surface instead of going under.
