21 great new sound libraries Asbjoern Andersen


This week on A Sound Effect, we've got a diverse collection of sound libraries to explore. From the horrific to the serene, there's something for everyone.

If you're looking for authentic vehicle sounds, we've got you covered with an older '80 Volkswagen Golf and '05 Fiat Sedici, along with a '16 Peugeot 3008, '23 FiatPanda Hybrid, and '19 Range Rover for more modern automotive sounds.

Need to set the scene? Check out morning loops from a seaside village and the industrial feel of a research ship at sea, and immersive soundscapes of Costa Del Sol with their notable crickets and dogs.

For a touch of the eerie, we have creaking wooden doors and rain on tin foil, along with more dramatic and disturbing sound effects of dark cinematic voices, sounds of vocalizations of women during fighting and violence, a new collection of gore, and humanoid creatures for a range of terrifying sounds.

For some added punch to your projects, we also have powerful dark resonant tones and explosive impacts and intense heavy bombardment for sounds of warfare.

Finally, for unique sounds that are hard to find anywhere else, we have sounds of classic Tesla coil zaps and futuristic energy, a bundle of Eastern Asian instruments, and the modern and past bells of Notre Dame.

Happy listening!
