19 new sound libraries

Welcome to the world of sound libraries! This week on A Sound Effect, we have 19 new sound libraries that will help you take your projects to the next level. Whether you're looking for cinematic sound effects, environmental ambiences, or something in between, we have something for everyone.

If you are looking for cinematic metal, you are in luck! We have 3 new installments from the series, as well as a bundle for all your squealing, rumbling needs.

We also have assets for your games, whether they be for mobile, realistic AAA games, analog-inspired, or anime hits. If you're working on a game with any vehicles, we also have sounds of SUVs, superminis, scooters, and a collection of sirens and alarms.

For some breathtaking outside textures, check out the sounds of windy shores, wind chimes, fireworks, and a general ambience bundle.

Finally, for new textures that meet your specific needs, check the sounds of drawers, celestial harps, and a voice bundle with everything from fairies and sรฉances to goblins and otherworldly screams. Happy listening!
