"Bombardment" is a heavy, emotionally complex sound: distant explosions with a long low-frequency "rumble" in the 30–100 Hz band, echoes from city walls, periodic closer impacts with hissing tails, the drone of distant aircraft. The recording captures an artillery or air strike from 1–2 km distance — no visual component and no human screams, only acoustic texture. Volume in the recording is greatly reduced relative to reality: an actual close explosion exceeds 180 dB and physically ruptures the eardrum.
Physiologically this is a traumatic sound. Wessel and colleagues (Psychological Medicine, 2002) described the "auditory trigger" in post-traumatic stress disorder: in people with combat PTSD, distant explosions launch a full physiological fear response — accelerated heart rate, sweating, hypervigilance — within fractions of a second and without conscious decision. For this reason the track is categorically not intended for casual background listening. It is included in the collection strictly as a staged sound effect for specific creative and educational tasks.
Use this track only in controlled scenarios: for sound design of a war game, film or podcast about war; for audiobooks with military themes (Remarque, Hemingway, Grossman); for historical documentary projects; for student sound-design work. DO NOT use as background for work, sleep, meditation, or in the presence of people who may have a military or civilian shelling experience — it can provoke an acute stress response. Pairs with Emergency Sirens, Whistling Wind (for post-apocalyptic background).
