This week on A Sound Effect, we have lots of new libraries with the sounds you need for your games and films. You’ll hear tile footsteps, office sounds, noisy buildings, city traffic and transportation, a Land Rover, and Ambisonic Berlin ambiences. You’ll also hear always-needed elements like cinematic transitions and whooshes, as well as rarer libraries that feature Shepard tones, Tibetan singing bowls, suitcases, and interferences. Happy listening!
Swipes and Whooshes
 
  • Whoosh Sound Effects Swipes and Whooshes Play Track 1800+ sounds included, 35 mins total $32

    Swipes & Whooshes sound library is a collection of different air-cutting sounds emitted by everyday objects flying at high speed.

    It can be a great and handy tool in designing more complex sound effects for games, like weapons sound effects or game user interface.

    Everything was recorded with high-quality equipment, able to capture frequencies well above 20kHz, so it’s a very flexible material when it comes to stretching or pitch shifting.

    66 stereo ORTF files features 1841 sound effects, cause each recording contains different variations of the same activity. The total length of the files is 35 minutes.

    As for the post processing, everything was edited and mastered. Editing came down to removing unwanted sounds between takes, and mastering to removing harsh sounding frequencies, compressing and setting everything on level that is comfortable to work with, so you don’t have to constantly adjust the levels while looking for specific sound.

    The library features whooshes created with objects like:
    • Different brooms
    • Old mop
    • Boompole
    • Ropes
    • Clothes
    • Different objects tied to rope
    • Torch
    • Umbrellas
    • Different long plastic objects
    • Baskets and containers
    • and many more

'Swipes and Whooshes' by Soundholder gets you a range of whooshes with the perfect textures for your movements and weapons. With an impressive 1,841 sound effects, you'll hear sounds of whooshing brooms, mops, ropes, cloth, torches, umbrellas, baskets, swinging objects, and much more! Each high-quality file was edited and mastered, so they are easy to implement and capable of being stretched and manipulated to perfectly complement a swinging punch or hurdling fireball. If you need some whooshes (and we all do), give this one a listen.
 
Land Rover Defender
 
  • Car Sound Effects Land Rover Defender Play Track 332 sounds included, 532 mins total $179

    ‘Land Rover Defender’ by Flysound is a comprehensive sound catalogue for this best-of-British diesel beast. The suite of 290 recordings is a systematic compilation authored by a dedicated full service post-production team, deploying Neumann U87s, Sennheiser MKH416s, Sound Devices 788Ts, Aaton Cantar X-2s, and further top quality recording, editing, sound design, and mixing equipment.

    The 4×4 and its professional driver have been tracked from a myriad of angles and distances, both external and onboard, from the moment the doors close and a seatbelt fastens, right down the gamut of revs, take-offs, turns, passes-by, skids, pedal slams, handbraking, gearshifting, and panel buttoning galore with all the corresponding actions as this hardy off-roader peels away fast, chugs along slow, or just cruises an everyday commute. In short: Everything you’ll need, all the maneuvers manifested by this 2.4 litre diesel icon, here in this suite.

    The symphonic grace of a Defender in motion is captured with orchestra-grade studio equipment and field kit, by professionals, for professionals, ready to be used as authentic sound, ready to be arranged into seamless edits and proper 5.1 post-production. The 96kHz/24bit synced and multi-channel recordings have comprehensive metadata tags giving full position, microphone, and action detail. This catalogue constitutes the canon of sound for the Land Rover Defender all-terrain vehicle. The suite is parked here, ready to give you the exact audio you need.

    A lite and mixed version of this suite is also included, comprising 41 authentic stereo files, designed, mixed, and studio packaged on best-of-breed equipment for simpler tasks which would have a preference for a package of ready made stock sounds of the Defender.

'Land Rover Defender' by Flysound is a highly flexible library that gets you the fun, adventurous sounds of a diesel beast. With over 290 recordings, you'll hear sounds of its engine as it starts up, idles, drives, and peels away. These sounds were also recorded from multiple interior and exterior mics, making this a great library for your scenes that have multiple perspectives of the same event. All these details can be found in the metadata, too! If your project features a diesel all-terrain vehicle, this is the one to check out.
 
Noisy Buildings V1
 
  • Featuring a very special (and spatial) library. If you want true natural interior noises, Noisy Buildings delivers. The pack contains high quality sound files, recorded in abandoned spaces. This first volume represents rumble and rattle sounds, perfectly suited for psychedelic and horror madness – or just when you want to create an unsettling atmosphere. The sounds are rich in natural reverbation, which is specific for large and medium building spaces. For example, you can find very loud and strange sounds of breaking windows, falling into the elevator shaft.

Noisy Buildings V1 by Bert Foley - Eklen Sounds gets you 39 echoing interior sound effects that will help you build unsettling, abandoned atmospheres. These sounds come from large and medium buildings, capturing their rich open spaces from strange sounds that disturbed the peace. You’ll hear the never-ending reverb from broken glass and concrete, banging doors, and rattling plastic as their reflections ring through creepy rumbling corridors and stairwells. If you're looking for a memorable disturbance that will put your audience on edge, this is a library to hear.
 
Transportation
 
  • Travel & Transportation Transportation Play Track 223+ sounds included, 252 mins total $135

    Kicking off our brand-new series “Noisy Places”, TRANSPORTATION is a comprehensive ambient collection with a broad spectrum of crystal-clear vehicle recordings.

    Background Vehicle Recordings
    All recordings – often loopable – have been either performed from a distance or exhibit enough subtlety, atmosphere and unobtrusiveness to be perfectly suited for all kinds of background settings and applications, giving them a serene, almost naturalistic feel.

    Authentic Ambience Toolkit
    Build your acoustic backdrop that sounds organic and grounded while keeping the familiar human touch and making the listener more aware of their acoustic surroundings. While a good soundtrack can help in introducing a world to the audience, a believable acoustic setting completes the arrival, especially when standing on its own – one of this library's major strenghts, next to its ability to blend in with more frontal sound design and its varied line-up of motorized vehicles: On the road, rails, water and airborne with both interior ambiences and exterior recordings.

    Acoustic Purity and Flexibility
    TRANSPORTATION is one of the most flexible ambient libraries, thanks to its acoustic purity and isolation of targeted sounds, allowing you to design exactly what you need without any unwanted, arbitrary noise to worry about. A strong addition to your sound pool that will enhance, or perhaps even replace earlier designs.

Transportation by BOOM Library takes you to noisy, rumbling street sides and train platforms. As the starting library of their new series, ‘Noisy Places’, you’ll get an impressive 4 hours and 12 minutes of ambiences from a variety of perspectives that will make you feel like you’re at a street corner hailing a cab or waiting for the next train. You’ll also get interior sounds from trains, ships, and jets - and most of the sounds are loopable, too! If you need traffic sounds that are detailed, varied, and carefully recorded, check this one out.
 
Noise Elements: Electrical & Interference

Plus, you'll get lots of bonus content with selections from Glitchedtones' other libraries 'Data Disruption', 'Drones', 'Feedback Loop FX & Atmospheres', and 'Signal Interference'. Whether you're working on a project inspired by Dead Space or Fallout, you'll find the tense interferences you need right here!
 
Suitcase – old traveler
 
'Suitcase – old traveler' by Dilex has 17 minutes of interesting sounds from a squeaky old suitcase. You'll hear creaking sounds as the luggage is opened and closed, as well as sounds of its buckles and locks and foley of someone packing and handling it.

Tibetan Crystal Singing Bowls

They create a range of sounds to restore the normal vibratory frequencies of diseased and out-of-harmony parts of the body, mind and soul. They are also used for sound baths, which is when participants lay on the floor and let the waves of sound from the Tibetan Singing Bowls wash over them.

    9 total bowls were recorded. Notes C, D, D#, E, F, G, A, A one octave up and B. A variety of bowl sizes were used from 8 to 12 inches.

Tibetan Crystal Singing Bowls by Kevin Durr gets you over 40 minutes of sounds from these meditative instruments. With a variety of performances and different sizes – from 8 to 12 inches – you’ll hear 9 tones and lots of vibrations performed from a series of hits and stirs. These high-quality recordings can be used as soothing layers, or you can pitch bend them to create subtle frequencies that may center your soundscapes or add tension if you'd like. For the beautiful sounds of ancient healing, this is the one you want.

  • Animal Sound Effects Forests and Mountains Play Track 96+ sounds included, 220 mins total $110

    Forest and Mountains features nature and wildlife sounds from California, Washington, and Oregon.  Included are a number of bird recordings and forest ambiences, along with some insects, winds, rivers, and rain.  

    These were recorded over the past three years in various forests, foothills, and mountain environments.   A lot of these took place in or near Southern California’s Angeles Forest and San Gabriel Mountains, an area that spans 1200 Square Miles and varies vastly in terrain.

    Also included are some sounds from Northern California, along with recordings from the Pacific Northwest.

    The recording techniques for this varied as sometimes I went with the recorders running unattended to capture night, dawn and early morning.  Other times I’d record while being close by.

    Working as a Sound Effects Editor I’ve curated this collection with Editors in mind.  Background Ambiences and Spotted FX can really bring a location to life and give it so much story and character and that was a lot of the inspiration behind putting this all together. 

    Forests and Mountains

     

    The Locations

    California (61 Files) – This is where a majority of the sounds from this library were recorded and specifically Southern California.  Variety of areas and different environments, mostly around Angeles Forest, from Lower Elevation Foothills to more rugged mid-elevation Mountain Canyons and then much Higher Elevation and more remote terrain.  Also included are a few recordings from the Eastern Sierras and Northern California.

    Washington (19 Files) – Southern WA in Gifford Pinchot Forest and various Northwest Forest areas near Puget Sound.

    Oregon (16 Files) – Lakeside Recordings in forest and marsh at Klamath Lake in SE Oregon.

    Metadata
    Detailed with descriptions and markers and photos to easily navigate and allow for options when searching.  UCS was used to categorize and various bird species are identified.  I’ve also labeled the metadata with what I consider Lower Elevation (up to 1500 feet), Middle Elevation (2000-5000 feet), and Higher Elevation (above 5000 feet).   Included are the season of the year which was mostly Spring and Summer.  Using Open-Tier in Soundminer you can use these to help get a bit more specific to particular environments.

  • Hello Creators!

    Here’s my new pack: “General UI Sounds“

    General UI Sounds  ·  The Sound Guild

    I wanted to create a sound pack to cover different situations in an user interface.
    I hope you enjoy implementing this sounds in your project!

    Making-Off

    All this sounds were originally recorded with a Zoom H6 (cardiod microphone), and were processed in Logic Pro X, mainly editing the recorded material but also I used the Logix Pro X sampler.

    Some considerations

    1. Keep in mind this sounds can be used in a variety of situations, I put a name to the SFX but this doesn’t mean it can’t be used in other contexts.

    2. The sounds are in 44.1Khz/16 bit format. I have the original files at 96khz/24bit also, if you need this format, please contact me.
