To create this classic sound in digital audio workstations like Reaper or Audacity, editors typically use these settings:

: Approximately 120 milliseconds for a quick "blooper" beep.

: 1,000 Hz (standard) or 900 Hz for a slightly deeper tone.

: It became a standard for removing profanity, sensitive classified info, or personal details.

: Metalocalypse famously used pinch harmonics and guitar riffs.

While the 1 kHz beep is the gold standard, many creators use "thematic" sounds to mask dialogue:

: Samurai Champloo used record scratches, while others use burps, farts, or roars.

: Generating a "JS tone generator" or "Tone" effect to overpower the original audio. A Brief History
