Local Forecast is a royalty-free track by composer Kevin MacLeod, released through his Incompetech library and widely used in videos, podcasts and presentations as neutral background music. Its familiarity online made it a target for earrape remixes, where creators deliberately distort familiar songs and effects for comedy. The trend overlaps with other exaggerated loud clips like the MLG air horn, which also rely on sudden volume for shock value. This version stays popular for pranks because the source tune is instantly recognisable yet completely inoffensive before the distortion hits.

Earrape version of Kevin MacLeod's Local Forecast, a cheerful royalty-free weather tune turned extremely loud for prank edits and meme videos.
This clip takes Kevin MacLeod's Local Forecast, a light and bouncy instrumental originally made as background music for weather segments, and pushes it into a distorted earrape version. The familiar cheerful melody is played at an exaggerated volume with harsh clipping, so the pleasant tune suddenly feels abrasive and absurd. That contrast is the joke, turning an inoffensive stock track into a startling punchline. Listeners recognise the tune almost immediately, which makes the blast more effective when it drops without warning in a short edit.
