5 Royalty-Free Audio Tracks for "Polite Cough"

A small, multi-part cough, well-suited to denote uncomfortable silence, like a more natural alternative to using crickets to demonstrate a lack of reaction from an audience. Recorded on blue snowball for the super legit podcast.

A very brief 'ahem' kind of throat-clearing sound.

Recording of a middle school band short performance. Starts with piano for the intro, then goes into a group of out of tune stringed instruments sounding a lot like "twinkle twinkle little star" followed by polite audience applause, and ending with an audience member's cough.

This is a recording of applause at the end of the concert in a large auditorium. The conductor and performers walk off and on stage for multiple bows throughout. This is recorded with a small field recorder from a seat in the audience. The file politely clips in parts as people near me clapped, but it's not noticeable. The cough in the beginning is easily cut out, the file loops really well, so you can just delete that section, and it will sound continuous.

A polite crowd making minute noises in an echoing concert hall. Made of multiple audio clips spliced together, in hopes that most transitions are seamless, and those that aren't can be easily edited. Taken with a black sony ic recorder, at boettcher concert hall with the denver young artists orchestra. Use however you wish. God bless!.
