Paste this as a dsp chain on any track, tweak sensitivity as desired:

Though I didn’t really see the need for the four stacked gainers, removing them gave me more or less the same result. ?

Depends on the volume of the initial sound… the gainers are there to make sure that even the lowest peaks get inverted… they’ll end up being the loudest peaks in the end
