About this sound

The Sandevistan activation sound from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, as David Martinez slows time. Use it for fast anime edits, fight scenes and speed moments.

This is the short burst that plays when David Martinez activates his Sandevistan implant in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. It opens with a sharp electronic charge and a rising digital whine, then drops into a fast, rushing whoosh as time seems to slow around him. The effect feels sudden and powerful, like the world snapping into slow motion while David moves at full speed. That contrast is what makes it so useful for edits: in just a few seconds it signals a shift in pace, raises tension, and tells the viewer something intense is about to happen, even without any dialogue or music.

David Martinez is the protagonist of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the 2022 anime series from Studio Trigger set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077. In the show, his Sandevistan is a cybernetic implant that lets him perceive time as slowed while he moves at extreme speed, a power he uses in many of the series' most intense fights. Clips of the activation sound spread through anime edits and short-form videos, where creators reuse it to signal a sudden burst of speed. Like other time-stopping effect sounds in anime, it remains popular because it instantly reads as a power-up moment.

Pro Tip for Usage

Drop it right on the cut where your character starts moving, then slow the footage to 25 percent for the next second or two. Pair it with a zoom or speed ramp, but avoid adding another whoosh underneath, as its charge already carries the transition.

Use Cases

  • Highlighting a character dodging an attack in slow motion.
  • Starting a fast-paced anime fight edit.
  • Showing a gamer reacting before a clutch play.
  • Transitioning into a dramatic speed-ramp montage.
