About this sound

An AI-generated sound effect: “Low-pitched, resonant heavy inhale and exhale, chest-driven texture with slightly ragged, strained quality, natural breath envelope with subtle chest rattle on exhalation, no music, no speech”. Quality-checked before listing, free for commercial and personal projects — videos, games, podcasts, apps and client work. No royalties — just credit BudgetPixel AI.

Direct file: WAV · 44.1 kHz — both WAV and MP3 are on the download button.

Editor's note (9.5/10): This clip closely matches the brief, with natural resonant chest-driven breaths, subtle strained ragged texture, no unwanted speech, music or background artifacts, containing two consecutive full inhale/exhale cycles.

Do I have to credit BudgetPixel to use "Heavy Ragged Chest Breath"?
