14 new sound libraries Asbjoern Andersen

Posted by Adriane Kuzminski in New sound effects libraries


This week on A Sound Effect, embark on a sonic adventure across our world and fantastic galaxies!

For sounds on earth, journey to sun-drenched southern Spain, or lose yourself in the rhythmic hum of diverse Italian trains. You can also relive the roar of iconic 2000s cars and experience a sleek '06 Hyundai i30 and '08 SEAT Ibiza.

For general ambiences and textures, take a detour to a busy hospital and find solace in the gentle pitter-patter of rain ambiences, or embrace granular rocky textures and feel the ground rumble with earthly tremors. Plus, you can be inspired by unique textures of EMF recordings, or cozy up to the warmth and comfort of crackling flames.

And if you're looking to blast off to new galaxies, transport your audiences to immersive sci-fi soundscapes, bring powerful futuristic weaponry to your game, or experience the chilling whooshes of soaring through the cosmos.

Give the sound libraries below a listen and ignite your creativity! Happy listening!

    HAL has teamed up with sound designer Raphael Sohier to create the most comprehensive hospital sound effects library to date. GENERAL HOSPITAL has 760 files and over 2000 sounds covering all aspects of the genre.

    This collection is the result of years of work and aims to set a new standard for a genre mostly neglected by independent sound libraries until now. Even old tropes need new sound ideas (no pun intended) and we think we have achieved exactly this with our library.

    Gentle drizzle to thundering rain storm
    Rain ambiences is a collection of detailed dripping, splattering and pouring rain. It has a little more than four and a half hours of rain recorded in ORTF or NOS in nature preserves, rural and urban areas.
    I looked for the most wet sounding spots and spent hours relaxing to the sound of rain. It was really fantastic to record!
    The sounds were mostly recorded at night and the ambiences have texture and detail with a range from rain aftermath to stormy downpour on many different surfaces. All files are thoroughly and carefully tagged with metadata and have UCS-compliant file naming.
