This week on A Sound Effect, we have tons of vehicles as well as ambiences and unique effects.
If you need the sounds of a fast engine or tires whooshing across the pavement, check out the new car libraries featuring the Audi S6, Volvo P1800S and VW Polo. If you need two wheels instead, we have sounds a beloved bicycle and a Triumph Street Twin. For WWII-era vehicles, we also have a M5 High Speed Tractor and M16 Halftrack.
If you need ambiences instead, we have sounds of various museums and galleries – and if you need sounds that will get a reaction from your listeners, we have powerful squeaks and creaks, Steampunk contraptions, and a bundle of five compelling libraries that range from sword fights to car crashes. Happy listening!
