Budget Repairs Sound Design

For my job application test for Majster Symulator, I designed a wide range of sounds that bring chaotic DIY home repairs to life. The challenge was to capture the clunky, rough, and sometimes disastrous nature of amateur renovation.

Power Tools & Cutting

• 🔩 Placing the drill before drilling
• 🔊 Small drill in action
• 📦 Taking the drill out of the store
• 🛒 Dropping the drill into the cart with other items
• 🎚️ Subtle UI sound when browsing drills in the shop
• 🪚 Hand saw cutting a door
• ✂️ Saw movement before cutting
• 💥 Saw falling to the ground

• 💲 "Cash register down" sound

Tiles & Breaking Sounds

• 🪨 Placing tiles before installation
• 📉 Laying down tiles
• ❌ Peeling off a tile, dropping, and cracking it on the floor
• 🛠️ Taping a tile to the wall (a strong "slap" sound)

Painting & Construction

• 🎨 Pouring paint and water into a bucket
• 🖌️ Rolling paint onto the wall
