This week we have nine new libraries, and each one has a unique approach. You will find interior ambiences from an abandoned WWII bunker, a series of burps from the belching master, climactic buzzes of a Stihl chainsaw, a roaring fire from a metal stove, crackling ice, zooming podracers, and world sounds from Spain, Austria and Turkey. If you need distinct, accurate detailed or flexible sounds that can be stretched for many purposes, check out the libraries below:
Bunker Ambients
 
  • Environments & Ambiences Bunker Ambients Play Track 23+ sounds included, 57 mins total $16

    The Bunkers sound effects library features roomtones and ambiences captured inside old World War II shelters (at the historic WW2 complex known as Wolf’s Lair in Poland).

    The ambiences were captured in small rooms deep inside bunkers, in hallways, inside old rusty water pipes and outside, between bunkers.

    The library includes room tones with water dripping from ceilings, small pieces of wall falling on the floor and wind getting through destroyed walls. The Bunker Ambients library features 23 files with a total length of 57 minutes, recorded with a Sony PCM-M10 and Sennheiser MKH 8040 plugged into Sound Devices 702 recorder in ORTF configuration.

'Bunker Ambients' by Soundholder has almost an hour of ambiences from these fortifications to give your project a realistic and eerie feel. Recorded in historic WW2 shelters in Poland, these sounds feature crumbling walls, wind slipping through cracks, and water dripping from the ceilings. Bits of the nearby forest also creep in with buzzing mosquitos, creaking trees, and small birds, giving you the sense there may be a way out. Whether you are designing a post-apocalyptic scene in an underground shelter, or you are looking for ambiences to fit general industrial areas or large craft interiors, this library will help make your audience feel a little claustrophobic.

    Using both closed and open door perspectives, typical fire traits such as whining, crackling and popping can be heard throughout. A number of recordings also include the metal of the stove expanding/contracting due to to the heat.

Burp
 
  • Human Sound Effects BURP Play Track 242 sounds included, 8 mins total $5

    The BURP sound effects library brings to you a varied and expressive set of burps and belches. All from the gut of Jack Menhorn; the goal was to produce a burp library that would be great for regular belches in addition to monster and creature vocalizations.

    These 21 files with 242 individual takes equaling over 140 MB of authentic burps will whisk you away to another realm of rudeness and lack of manners.

    It comes with short, medium, and long versions of many performances including; harsh, airy, strained, opened/closed, and many more.

A respectable burp cannot be judged purely on its power or length but for its expression, and who else could better demonstrate this than sound designer Jack Menhorn? In 'Burp', you will hear over 240 multifarious belches with long airy releases, strained squals, windy outbursts, short grunts, and even ones that end with a question mark or sound like they're coming from the undead. These sounds were also recorded at 96kHz, allowing you to create deep monstrous rumbles and high-pitched gassy goblins. If you didn't think there was an art to belching, this library will convince you otherwise.
