12 new sound libraries Asbjoern Andersen

Posted by Adriane Kuzminski in How to use sound effects


This week on A Sound Effect, we have sounds ranging from in-your-face bold to subtlely familiar.

For new locations, you can look forward to exploring the rich, urban sounds of two European capital cities: vibrant Warsaw and lively Vienna. You can also hear streams and waterfalls across Austria and Slovenia, as well as sounds from around a recycling facility in France.

If you are looking for vehicles, we have a Kawasaki cruiser motorcycle and a Mercedes Benz luxury family car. And for animals, you can hear barking dogs, ranging from Terriers to Dobermans, quacking ducks, and aggressive cicadas from Ohio.

If you want textures that will give your sound design a unique touch, check out the collections of graceful drones, EMF recordings from nearly 70 devices and appliances, and a huge 5-liter metal tin that handled destruction like a champ!

Happy listening!

Periodical Cicadas

  • Animal Sound Effects Collections Periodical Cicadas Play Track 13+ sounds included, 65 mins total $35

    Periodical Cicadas features the sounds of millions of periodical cicadas singing en masse. This library has extended drones and screeches, up-close wing-fluttering pass-byes, multiple pharaoh (mating) calls and distant cicadas singing from the treetops. With my latest recordings in May 2025, three broods are now featured: Brood XXII was recorded in south Louisiana in 2014, Brood V was recorded in Ohio in 2016 and Brood XIV was recorded in the hollows of West Virginia in 2025. 

    Periodical cicada choruses can differ in sound from species to species. Throw in variables like wind conditions and where exactly a species sings from, and you have a range of distinct sounds, bordering on the creepy at times, to include in your next insect-ridden project.

Electromagnetic Fields

'Electromagnetic Fields' by Evocative Sound and Visuals has 163 EMF sounds captured with a Sony PCM D100 recorder and two induction coil mics. It includes hums, drones, beeps, bleeps, buzzes, glitches, pulses, static, and indescribable sounds from lights, electronics, power tools, radios, and more!
 
  • Drones & Mood Sound Effects Electromagnetic Fields Play Track 163+ sounds included, 135 mins total $35

    Evocative Sound and Visuals is pleased to announce the release of Electromagnetic Fields. This library contains 163 meticulously crafted and mastered sounds from 68 devices and structures captured in high-quality stereo with a Sony PCM D100 recorder and two small induction coil microphones. Included are hums, drones, beeps, bleeps, buzzes, glitches, pulses, static and more strange sounds I cannot describe.

    With few exceptions, we mere mortals can’t hear the electromagnetic fields (EMF) surrounding us. If we could, we’d go crazy, especially in our ever-expanding electronic environment. We can tune our ears into this other sonic world using induction coil microphones. I never knew quite what to expect when placing mics on an object. Having two microphones with fairly long cables allowed me to find the most sonically interesting parts of an object to focus on. Two mics spaced apart also allow for a nice stereo spread.

    Have fun experimenting with and inserting these hi-tech sounds (some captured in 96kHz/24-bit and others in 192kHz/24-bit) into your next science fiction and otherworldly creations. Please don’t take the device’s sound literally. That SLR’s motor drive may just be your next rapid-fire laser cannon.
