Want to add crisp, realistic nature sounds to your project? We have recordings of French countrysides with their rainfall and tranquil ambiences (complete with roosters!), Scottish streams and creeks, and the icy solitude of an Icelandic winter.

Need some unique animal sounds to bring your characters to life? We have purrs and meows from adorable cats, calls from majestic parrots, sharp cries and neighs of cute alpacas, and even the barks of ferocious guard dogs.

Looking for something that can be used across genres and projects? We have a library packed with versatile footsteps for any situation, lawnmowers creating freshly cut grass, the menacing slashes of swords clashing, and the atmospheric hum of urban drones.

So whether you're working on a video game, film, or just want to add some sonic spice to your project, we've got you covered. Happy listening!

Environments & Ambiences Sounds of Nature: Iceland-Winter Ambiences Play Track 11-44 sounds included, 198 mins total $34

You can hear the biting icy wind, the pervasive chill, and, occasionally, the calls of a few birds and a solitary raven. These recordings capture the serene, remote and stark beauty of Icelandic winter ambiances.

All recordings are clear and entirely devoid of external noise and human disruptions. This is why this library is particularly valuable for productions set in the past, such as medieval and ancient times as well as for historical and nature documentaries.

All these nature ambiences are recorded using two microphone setups: a Double MS Stereo setup and a spaced omnis setup, the latter also providing extended frequency response. This results in four variations for each recording: Stereo, Wide Stereo, Wide AB Stereo, and 5-channel 5.0 surround. The variances between these options range from subtle to more pronounced, offering flexibility for crosscutting within scenes.

Get more than 3 hours of unique, royalty-free and notably high quality recordings with this library. Recorded in 24 bit / 96 kHz. Accurately edited and mastered to sound as natural as possible. With an average duration ranging from 2 to 7 1/2 minutes per file, there’s ample time to integrate them seamlessly into longer scenes without the need for looping. For more detailed descriptions of the ambiences within this collection, please refer to the metadata provided in our file lists or listen to the preview montage.

This library is UCS compliant (universalcategorysystem.com). In this new category system, all files contain extensive metadata like file description, Category & Subcategory. Metadata can be read and processed by the most common audio libraries management tools.
