21 Great New Sound Libraries: Hawks And Owls, Jump Scares, Cartoon Towns, Florentine City Life, Classic Cars, Lots Of Analog Tech, And More!

Posted November 13, 2024 by Adriane Kuzminski in New sound effects libraries

This week on A Sound Effect, we're diving into a world of sonic diversity, from the haunting cries of nocturnal predators to the futuristic hum of alien technology.

For creature sounds, we have the chilling screeches of an owl, the versatility and raw power of a Harris's hawk, and a menacing collection of monstrous growls and roars.

On the most peaceful side, we have environmental sounds of serene rivers and waterfalls, detailed energetic water impacts, a wide range of traffic and road noise, sounds of city life in Florence, and the rhythm and rumble of trains and stations.

If you're in game development, check out sounds of powerful magic weapons, playful music tracks and phrases inspired by Animal Crossing, spine-tingling jump scares, and intense female combat for your action scenes.

For vehicles, give a listen to a '04 BMW 1 Series E87, '05 Fiat Doblo van, and '00 Opel Corsa C supermini, as well as a collection of classic cars from bygone era and dynamic and powerful car pass bys.

Finally, for a touch of vintage and futuristic technology, check out sci fi doors, glitchy lo-fi sounds of a VHS player, and nostalgic analog sounds of vintage audio devices.

Happy listening!

Rivers and Waterfalls

'Rivers and Waterfalls' by Morten Brogaard gets you over four hours of pristine recordings of streams, rivers, and waterfalls from Norway, Belgium, and France. It includes close-up gurgles, distant flows, and powerful waterfalls.

Environments & Ambiences Rivers and Waterfalls Play Track 91 sounds included, 256 mins total $50

This collection has over four hours of streams, rivers, and waterfalls, all recorded without birds or man-made noise. The 91 recordings offer a variety of perspectives, from close-up to distant, highlighting the natural gurgles and splashes. Everything was recorded in northern Norway, Belgium, and northern France.

I created this collection primarily for myself, aware of the many Rivers and Streams libraries out there, but I couldn’t resist sharing it after enjoying the recording process so much. The sounds capture everything from the intense rush of water just above the roaring rapids to the gentle flow of rivers hundreds of meters away. In quiet natural environments, the sound of flowing water can be heard from very far and this really impacts the soundscape in a beautiful way. I also designed some waterfall samples, focusing on texture to avoid the typical pink noise. These additions sound powerful yet natural. There are also low-end recordings of a large waterfall, captured between rock formations, which deliver a deep roar with minimal high frequencies—perfect for enhancing water sounds.

Many of the recordings were captured during a 30-day hiking trip through the northernmost parts of Norway. Crossing rivers without bridges was a significant part of the journey, and these sounds instantly take me back there, wet feet and all. I hope you’ll find them useful!

THE WORLD’S EASIEST WAY TO GET INDEPENDENT SOUND EFFECTS:

A Sound Effect gives you easy access to an absolutely huge sound effects catalog from a myriad of independent sound creators, all covered by one license agreement - a few highlights:

Bird Sound Effects Seagulls Play Track 28+ sounds included $35

The Seagulls sfx library includes 28 tracks of both single, isolated seagull screams, and bigger flocks of nesting seagulls, calling out to each other and their chicks. There are plenty of classic call sounds, but also some weird throaty and raspy screaming, and what could sound like seagull laughing sounds.

All tracks are recorded with the very useful zoom function of the Telinga microphone and dish.
Library includes both untreated tracks, and noise reduction processed tracks in two separate folders. Noise reduction processed tracks have carefully been cleaned up with a CEDAR NR system.

Though these birds are in an abundance around most harbours and industry around here, they are not always easy to record. You mostly hear them from a distance, or from places not easy to access. When you try to get close to them, they will usually fly away.

Many hours have been spent on rooftops, gardens, backyards, a junkyard, and different harbours to get this material.

4. Tracking shot: mono recording of the passby, keeping the bike in focus while passing by.
5. Static XY shot: stereo recording of the passby that emphasizes speed.

Overview of perspectives and mic placement:

Onboard recordings are 2-3 minutes long depending on speed. Higher speeds > shorter duration.
All 3 onboard mics are edited in sync with one another to make layering easy.
All Passbys, Arrivals and Departures move from Left to Right.

Metadata & Markers:

Because we know how important metadata is for your sound libraries we have created a consistent and intuitive description method that adheres to the Universal Category System.

We have another way to find perspectives but it is more limited to distance to the recorded subject.
So passbys are MED – EXT and handling are CU – EXT. Exterior? Of course: we recorded everything outside!

Bicycle Sound Effects City Bicycles – GoodBike Play Track 63 sounds included $30

This is a unique bicycle library that captures this characteristic bike in clean, quiet, nicely performed true exterior rides. Including multiple perspectives, speeds and actions. From fast passbys on asphalt to slow onboard recordings and smooth stops.

The GoodBike is a smooth sounding retro bike that doesn’t rattle or squeak, it has a really nice tire sound for a subtle presence in the mix.

Speeds and actions:
Three speeds. Departures from slow, medium to fast getaways. Arrivals from slow stops with gently squeaking handbrakes to heavy stuttering skids.

Five perspectives:
1. Onboard Front: captures the whirring tire and surface sound.
2. Onboard Pedal: nice overall combination of pedaling, crank creaks, chain rattle, tire and surface sounds.
3. Onboard Rear: close up sound of the rear axle, with chain, sprocket and switching of gear.
4. Tracking shot: mono recording of the passby, keeping the bike in focus while passing by.
5. Static XY shot: stereo recording of the passby that emphasizes speed.

Overview of perspectives and mic placement:

Onboard recordings are 2-3 minutes long depending on speed. Higher speeds > shorter duration.
All 3 onboard mics are edited in sync with one another to make layering easy.
All Passbys, Arrivals and Departures move from Left to Right.

Metadata & Markers:

Because we know how important metadata is for your sound libraries we have created a consistent and intuitive description method that adheres to the Universal Category System. This allows you to find the sound you need easily, whether you work in a database like Soundminer/Basehead/PT Workspace work, or a Exporer/Finder window. We made a video that helps you navigate the library ans find your best bicycle sounds faster and easier.

CategoryFull
A quick way to filter out sounds you don’t need: like handling sounds or vice versa bicycle onboards.

UserCategory
Fastest way to find the type of action you need for all bicycles. Passby needed, just click and voila.

OpenTier
Once you’ve selected the bike you can open up OpenTier and audition and select the perspective you want to use.

Scene & Performer
This field contains the type of bicycle or other sound. So you can find the bike you like fast.

iXMLTrackLayout
This is a neat little identifier you will find in the Waveform displays and you can see in a glance what Listening position you are.

MicPerspective
We have another way to find perspectives but it is more limited to distance to the recorded subject.
So passbys are MED – EXT and handling are CU – EXT. Exterior? Of course: we recorded everything outside!
