New sound effects: ambiences from Berlin, libraries, highways, and space drones:

Do you want your audience to feel like they're on a spaceship to Mars? 'Future Room Tones' by Badlands Sound will give you that eerie, futuristic feel with its 42 room tones. You'll get distorted winds, electrical buzzes, and interiors from small to large areas like utility rooms and factories. Altogether you get over 130 minutes of smooth atmospheres, so if your project needs a tense yet subtle touch, check this one out!

Here's a collection that might wake up that passive aggressive urge to say, 'Shhh, quiet!' 'Libraries' by Niels Gabriels gets you three hours of recordings from all sorts of public libraries. You'll hear quiet study areas in universities, as well as recordings from the entrances, children's sections, reception desks, computer rooms, CD and DVD sections, and more from city and state libraries. Each of the 38 records is 5 minutes each, so you'll have over three hours of ambiences to choose from!

'Distant Traffic' by Badlands Sound has nearly 70 minutes of traffic ambiences that are flexible and easy to use. These recordings are each three minutes long and contain the faraway rumble of highway traffic, close-up stereo passbys, and quieter roadways. You also get different perspectives, so you can add just a touch of unnoticeable traffic to your scene or more distinct honks or motorcycle revving. If you need traffic sounds, this one will hardly make a dent in your budget!

creativeaudiopoolberlin is back with a new installment of sounds from the beautiful capital city of Germany. 'Urban Berlin Vol. 3' features the Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain districts in the middle of the city along the River Spree and Checkpoint Charlie. With sounds from hospitals, playgrounds, traffic circles, S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations, and more, you get a huge sampling of public areas all in Surround 5.1! For over 160 minutes of Berlin ambiences and detailed metadata, this will be a great add to your collection.

If you are looking for sci-fi tones with more overt character, you're in luck! 'Space Ambiences – Drones & Atmospheres' by Fox Audio Post-Production has 25 ambiences and drones that are thick with moody details. These dark sounds give all sorts of vibes, from a weird sense of solace to foreboding dread to mystical anxiety. Plus, each atmosphere is seamlessly loopable for quick implementation. If you want your soundscapes to feel like they're abstractly cautioning your audience, give this one a listen.
