This week on A Sound Effect, we're not just scratching the surface – we're diving deep into the sonic ocean!
Need a dose of automotive adrenaline? Hear the purr of an '04 Volvo V50, the sporty growl of a '96 Alfa Romeo 156, the zippy charm of a '08 Kia Soul, and the compact feel of a '12 Renault Megane. And while you're on the road, check out the bustle of honks, whistles, and beeps that are ready to punctuate your journeys.
For something more aquatic, give a listen to the underwater whispers of a secret world, a symphony of rain, the rushing currents of rivers, lakes, and streams, and crashing waves from dramatic clifftops..
While you're in the outdoors, we also have a new rock Foley bundle, electrifying chants and thuds from a futsal match, city sounds of demolition, rhythmic rumble of French trains, and the bustling charm of Dutch city life.
Plus, you can hear sounds of individualized humanoid creatures, a punchy Saiga-12 shotgun, a collection of airsoft cannons and water guns, realistic bodily functions, Foley bundles with squeaky cabinets and household tools or dropping and falling sounds, and a collection of all the pirate sounds you can muster!
