This week on A Sound Effect, we have four new libraries that are useful for all sorts of genres. We have a collection of gun shells that ring and ping as they bounce off various surfaces, police and ambulance sirens from all over Europe and the Americas, delightful UI SFX from the master of onomatopoeia, and beautifully immersive soundscapes from Canada’s wintery wildernesses. Whether you’re looking for subtly authentic sounds or ones that captivate (and might even influence your animation), we have a great selection this week!
'Sirens' by Audiohero gets you 170 sounds of sirens from all over the world. In this library you'll hear sirens belonging to police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks with their country-specific wails, blips, and screams from Mexico, the United States, Denmark, Spain, France, and Germany. It also includes recordings of the engines and horns from internal perspectives, as well as external recordings of pass-bys and arrivals. If you need sounds of an ambulance fast, this library should have you covered.
When you find out a library is created by George Hufnagl from Sounds Like George, you know it will have lots of charm, and 'Human Interface' is proof! This collection has over 200 sounds that will bring a fresh palette of sounds to your user interface. From mouthy pops and clicks to goofy raspberries and cute vocalizations that could fit in the Rayman games, you'll hear all kinds of interesting and endearing human SFX that will surely make your users smile.
'Gun Shell SFX Collection' by Effect Sense is an extensive collection of over 3,600 sounds of cartridges landing on different surfaces. It features the pings and pops of 12 types of casings with nubby pistol ammo for the 9mm and .45 ACP, hefty rifle ammo, and the very distinct bounce of 12-gauge plastic shells. Each of these gauges of rounds fall on concrete, wood, carpet, thick metal, rumbling metal, gravel, and dirt, giving you plenty of options for your scenes. For sounds that put your players right behind your game's weapons, give this library a listen.
'Winter Forest Ambience – Stereo, Quad, Surround' by Articulated Sounds is a lush forest library that has it all! With over 2 hours of ambiences from the North Laurentian Woods in Canada, this library captures the wildlife so perfectly, you might be convinced they found a little piece of heaven. You'll hear haunting wind, peaceful bubbling streams, howling wolves, freezing rain, and captivating birds from species both common and rare. For sounds of solace and scenery that will grab the imagination of your audience, definitely check out this library.
