'In Motion' by PM:SFX is a collection of sounds that are great for your emotional time-lapses and scenes that go ‘from just a beginner to a pro’. With 40 designed sound effects, you’ll get sounds ranging from swirling cafés, abstract sirens, flowing traffic, echoing insects, television chatter, paranormal sounds, and more.

'Wind Elements – Interior' by hzandbits has 75 minutes of wind as it warns building dwellers of coming storms. These recordings capture those moments we all hope for, with clear howling wind through the window cracks, gusts that make it seem like the door will fly right open, and the pitter patter of raindrops trying to make their way to the ground. You also get some gentler moments, a little sleet and rain, and excellent metadata. If your project starts with a dark and stormy night, this one is for you.
