I’m very happy to welcome back two great sound effect collections into the A Sound Effect catalog:

Dynamic Interference:


The sounds in the Dynamic Interference catalog are really interesting. Among them are what’s possibly the world’s most extensive collection of fabric / textile recordings, great ambiences from museums, some really, meaty analog switches – and much more. Check out the selection below:

  • Cassette Deck is a set of sounds collected from a small group of analog cassette players. It’s filled with great mechanical buttons and switches, latches, a few motors at different speeds, and multiple microphones/perspectives per take. Great if you’re building some mechanical interfaces!

  • This collection gets you more than 9000 fabric sounds recorded in isolation – for when you just don’t have access to a quiet enough space to record subtle foley movements.

    Designed with the idea that they can be combined in infinite ways to cover any movement you may need, it was recorded with a variety of microphones to provide multiple perspectives and cut down on time spent matching into the mix.

    It contains a wealth of fabric types, movements, rubs, rustles, tears and rips, and even a few zippers/buttons/velcro strips to give you the coverage you need.

  • A collection of stereo urban ambiences, recorded in Cairo and Dubai, where you’ll find traffic, Arabic walla, and the Call to Prayer.

    From the Spice Souk in Dubai to the back alleys of Studio Galal in Cairo, something is always moving.

    The collection comes with over 50 files, ranging from 21 seconds to nearly 11 minutes in length, for a total of 90 minutes of unique ambiences to put you in the “Cradle of Civilization.”

  • City Life Sound Effects Stately Museums Play Track 46 sounds included, 210 mins total $100

    It's not everyday you get the opportunity to record in the Smithsonian Institute when it's open…let alone when it's closed! Now you don't have to. This library contains sounds from seven museums, an administrative area and the National Zoo. All recorded in M/S using the ultra-quiet Sennheiser MKH40 and MKH30, and decoded into stereo files.

    This library includes sounds from:

    • The Museum of Natural History
    • The Museum of American History
    • The Museum of Air and Space
    • The Museum of the American Indian
    • The Freer Gallery
    • The subterranean exhibits of the Sackler Gallery
    • The Museum of African Art
    • The Administrative Ripley Center
    • The National Zoo

    All told, three and a half hours of unique museum ambiences!

  • This library is loaded with some beefy, old-school, mechanical interfacing: buttons, switches, knobs and levers.

  • This is a collection of all of the mechanical sounds you can get out of handling the specific weapons.

    Included are sounds from the Glock 9mm, Walther P22, Smith and Wesson .38 revolver, Heckler and Koch MP4, M4 Carbine and M24 Sniper Weapon System.

    All sounds are recorded indoors with both close and medium perspectives, giving you both dry and wet options to speed up your design process.

Jordan Fehr FX


Sound designer and recordist Jordan Fehr has built a great collection of sound effect libraries. These include the interesting make-and-break engine SFX library, authentic wood creaks from old houses, a buttons+mono ambiences bundle (co-created with game audio guru Damian Kastbauer) and more. Hear his libraries below:

  • This sound effect library from JordanFehrFX gets you more than 900 button and equipment sounds, captured by Jordan Fehr. Sound effects include buttons, switches, clicks, latches, clasps, bags, zippers, wild foley, machines, ambiences, cases, and more!

    It also comes with a special bonus library by game audio guru Damian Kastbauer, featuring more than 70 minutes of mono machine recordings and ambiences.

    Buttons Library Key Features:

    • 16 minutes of audio @ 48khz/24bit Mono
    • 46 Files
    • 144 MB
    • 900+ performances

  • Great sweeteners to toughen up your explosions, glass debris, and even armor moves.

    Features smashes, breaks, impacts, debris, shatters, pieces, moves, shakes – stock flower pot/mug breaks, eat your heart out!

    All recordings are clean, and contain no reflections, for the widest use for all designs.

  • Mechanical Sound Effects Power From The Past: Engines Play Track 51 sounds included, 17+ mins total $35

    This is a collection of recordings of industrial/farming make-and-break engines from the end of the 19th beginning of the 20th century.

    It features small clockwork type clinks and clicks, larger gears and pistons, and huge exhaust pipe chugs and blasts.

  • WOOD CREAKS is a collection of real recordings of old wood floors, boards, steps, and more – recorded in old (haunted?) houses in Central Ohio. Some of the files are tight on the source for applying your own reverbs to suit your needs, while others feature the space they lived in for maximum realism.

    Creaks, Squeaks, Bends, Pulls, Groans, Pops, Rips, Ticks, Door Elements, Weight Shifts for use in Foley, and more.

And, of course, there’s a huge number of outstanding SFX libraries being continuously added to the site – check out the very latest releases here.
