When asked what was the most challenging scene for sound. Erik Aadahl stated: "There's a rescue scene that takes place in the deepest part of the ocean, and the rescue is happening from this nuclear submarine. They're trying to extract the survivors, and at one point there's this sound from inside the submarine, and you don't know what it is but it could be the teeth of a giant megalodon scraping against the hull. That sound, which takes place over this one long tracking shot, was one that the director focused on the most. We kept going back and forth and trying new things. Massaging this and swapping that out it was a tricky sound. Ultimately, it ended up being a combination of sounds. Jay and sound effects editor Matt Cavanaugh went out and recorded this huge, metal cargo crate container. They set up mics inside and took all sorts of different metal tools and did some scraping, stuttering, chittering and other friction sounds. We got all sorts of material from that session and that's one of the main featured sounds there." Jon Turteltaub at one point said he wanted it to sound like a shovel being dragged across the top of the submarine, to which the sound editors took him quite literally. Eric Aadahl stated: "We went to record that container on one of the hottest days of the year. We had to put Matt (Cavanaugh) inside and shut the door! So we did short takes. I was on the roof dragging shovels, rakes, a garden hoe and other tools across the top. We generated a ton of great material from that. As with every film we do, we don't want to rely on stock sounds. Everything we put together for these movies is custom made for them."
