This week on A Sound Effect, we've got sonic treats to fill your projects with atmosphere and detail!
First up, you can dive into ambiences with chatter and laughter from a French wedding, hauntingly beautiful dystopian soundscapes, an essential bundle of everything from theme parks to alien worlds, and the relaxing wash of mountain rivers and tropical waves.
To add some animals to your mix, check out sounds of lively donkeys, chirping frogs, and bleating goats and sheep.
Need some rumbling road action? We've got sounds of a Nissan Frontier Truck, a Mercedes Benz C Class, a '13 Renault Captur, and long car pass bys, as well as 24 vehicles with engine problems (+ broken down boats, lawnmowers and power tools) and a broken down '06 Volvo V50 T5 that has engine knocking and even overheats!
Finally, for sounds that meet your specific needs, we have music for RPG combat, sounds of rummaging through trash, opening and closing drawers and cupboards, noises and haptics from telephones and computers, and foley from an acoustic guitar.
Happy listening!
