This week on A Sound Effect, we have sound libraries that cover a wide range of genres and styles, from realistic to abstract.
For new environments, explore the tranquil residential forests of Germany, busy cities in Serbia, suburban and urban rainstorms, and the contact mic recordings of exterior environments.
If you are looking for the sounds of the human voice, check out the charismatic voice overs in various languages, the expressive vocalizations from women and men, the exhilarating football games in the UK, the ominous protests in South Africa, and something a little less human with ferocious beastly creatures.
For something with more texture, you can hear the sounds of various fabrics, robust footsteps, squishy wet and slimy Foley, agonizing breaking bones, sharp punchy drawers, and crisp crunchy ceramics.
And for sounds that are unique and hard to find, you can hear the sounds of competitive billiards games, deadly bullets firing and ricocheting, informative sound effects for your explainer videos, and enchanting sounds of nature from musical arpeggiators.
Happy listening!
