Learn how to create a build from white noise in Audacity with this step-by-step guide. This technique is useful for sound design, music production, and more. We will walk you through the process of generating white noise, applying effects, and exporting your creation.

Step 1: Download and install Audacity
If you haven’t already, download and install Audacity, a free and open-source digital audio editor. You can find it at https://www.audacityteam.org/.

Step 2: Generate white noise
Open Audacity and choose File > New to create a new project. Now, click Generate > Noise from the menu bar and select “White” from the Noise type dropdown. This will generate a white noise track.

Step 3: Adjust the amplitude
To create a build, you’ll need to gradually increase the amplitude of the white noise. Click on the Envelope tool in the toolbar, then click and drag the white lines on the top and bottom of the waveform to create an ascending slope.

Step 5: Export your white noise build
To export your creation, click File > Export > Export as WAV or another format of your choice. Give your file a name and save it to your desired location.

With these steps, you now have a custom white noise build ready for use in your music production, sound design, or other creative projects. Experiment with different effects and settings to create unique sounds tailored to your needs.
