I am trying to reproduce this effect that was prominent in techno around the late 90s to early 00s. Its still used today, sounds like some sort or reverse drum hit but upon inspection it sounds like some LFO modulating the filter cutoff over white noise. I have tried producing it using various types of LFOs and envelopes and reversing all sorts of drums to get the sound to no avail. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. The track I have taken this from was made in 2003 so I don’t any advanced sound design was applied to create this simple but effective effect.

I usually reverse a crash cymbal to get that sound. Take a drum machine crash cymbal, like one you’d hear on an 808, sample it, or bounce it to audio, and reverse it. You may want to trim the ends of the clip to get it to start and end at just the right part of the sound.

Post your attempt here.
