This week on A Sound Effect, we explore 11 new sound effects libraries covering a wide stretch of field recording and design work – from 1070 game character vocal takes and Aztec death whistle screams to 10 hours of Pacific Northwest rainforest and analog radio traffic on the HF, VHF, and UHF bands.
You’ll also find earthquake and terrain-collapse design tools with 10 Serum presets, a Suzuki SV 650 with a Leovince exhaust, a Desert Eagle captured from 6 perspectives, Thai limestone jungle at dawn, frog choruses recorded inches from the microphone, an autumn afternoon in Victoria’s Strzelecki Ranges, and a small set of bathroom water splashes.
Universal Action Voices
Grunts, shouts, screams, and reactions organized around the essential actions a character performs – 1070 vocal takes in 3210 files.
Aciago
120 screams built from the Aztec death whistle, covering distorted shrieks, sudden stingers, ghostly vocal textures, and glitched, broken elements.
Rainforest Wetland
Recorded in Olympic National Park, this collection follows a temperate rainforest wetland from dawn chorus through a night of Pacific tree frogs – over 10 hours in all.
Radio Signal Sounds
Get 37 recordings of analog radio traffic on the HF, VHF, and UHF bands, left unprocessed apart from light EQ so the lo-fi character survives.
Rift
A sound design toolkit for earthquakes and terrain collapse, built from crunching rock textures, heavy drags over abrasive ground, and 10 Serum presets.
Suzuki SV 650
This vehicle library captures the V-twin character of the bike in 131 files, from startups, revs, and pass-bys to kickstand, tank cap, and throttle foley.
Desert Eagle 50
Recorded from 6 perspectives between onboard the weapon and 40 metres out, this handgun library covers gunshots and performed handling for action films and shooters.
Karst Jungle
This ambience sound library was recorded in Thailand’s Khao Sok National Park, with 208 minutes of birds, insects, streams, and bamboo creaking on karst mountaintops.
Frog Soundscapes
Eight frog ambiences totaling 30 minutes, recorded at a small pond in Thailand with some of the callers only inches from the microphone.
Australian Temperate Forest – Mount Worth, Autumn
Wet sclerophyll forest and rainforest gullies recorded over one autumn afternoon in Victoria’s Strzelecki Ranges, moving between closed forest, a pine plantation boundary, and open clearings.
Splashing Water Library
Seventeen splash and drip recordings at 32-bit, 192 kHz, with the close, wet character of a bathroom tap.
