how to implement sound of something collapsing in matlab?

Hi!

I tried to search on the internet but I didnt succeed in finding any sound that could resemble of something collapsing..

Can anybody help me with that..? :)

Are we talking "house of cards" or are we talking "Hoover Dam"? Or metal wind-chime? Or soufflé?

Is the sound of a souffle collapsing really just set of choice words uttered by the chef when he/she realizes what just happened?

If whatever it is is collapsing in space, then there is no sound, so the solution is easy:

t_max = 273; % 4'33" of silence
fs = 1000; % 1000 samples per second
my_sound = zeros(1,t_max*fs);

The sound of a soufflé collapsing is a very soft "raspberry" towards the chef.

@Muazma Ali,

This site has a collection of sound clips of things collapsing. The site says the clips are royalty-free. You must register to download the sound clips. I have not registered. I don't know if there is a fee to download after you have registered.

If you google "extract a sound file from a web site" you will find many suggestions for capturing sound files from web sites and youtube videos. This video has nice crash sounds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9eh4rnCkvU. You will have to edit the sound file to extract the crash sound parts from the talking parts.
