How MKBHD Uses Sound Effects
MKBHD (Marques Brownlee) sets the standard for polished tech review production. His editing is meticulous — every camera angle is deliberate, every transition smooth, and every sound effect precisely placed. The audio design is clean and minimal: camera shutter sounds when revealing products, smooth whooshes for angle changes, and very subtle glitch effects for tech-themed transitions. Nothing is overdone. The restraint is the point.
The key to MKBHD's sound design is that it matches his visual production quality. When he picks up a phone to reveal its design, you hear a satisfying camera shutter or focus sound. When he transitions from specs to real-world performance, a clean whoosh bridges the cut. Glitch effects appear sparingly, usually tied to digital or software topics. The overall palette is "premium tech" — sounds that feel like they belong in an Apple keynote rather than a vlog. Camera effects and gentle whooshes form the core of this approach.
