5 new sound libraries Asbjoern Andersen


This week on A Sound Effect, we only have a few libraries to share, but they are each unique!

For technology, you can hear sounds of cameras from the 1940s all the way to the 2000s and cassette tape recorders from a bygone (but coming back?) era.

You can also hear sounds of people in exterior crowds from the Americas and England, and a walla collection that features only Black voice actors.

And finally, check out the distinct bubbling sounds of waves from beneath a concrete pier.

Happy listening!
