This week on A Sound Effect, we explore 9 new sound effects libraries covering a wide range of sonic territory – from a Costa Rican mountain town captured in ambisonics and 674 building-site sounds to 1,500 files of medieval siege combat and an 18-minute industrial chiller cycle recorded in seven synchronized perspectives.
You’ll also find 233 designed clicks, gear spins, and activation sequences for puzzle games, demolition sounds recorded in a building a week before it was emptied, two watercraft libraries captured at 192 kHz – a 1995 twin-engine jet boat and a human-powered pedal boat – and the first volume of a Mexico City Metro collection.
