[pa-el]

A glitch sound is a discontinuous or intermittent noise that is often associated with a sudden, unexpected disruption in an electronic system. It can be described as a short, sharp, and crackling sound, similar to the static noise heard on an old vinyl record or a television with bad reception. The sound is named after the “glitch,” a term used to describe a small mistake or error in a system’s operation. Glitch sounds are often used in music and sound effects to create a sense of technology, nervousness, or an eerie or futuristic atmosphere.
