This week on A Sound Effect, we have lots of new libraries with the sounds you need for your games and films. You’ll hear tile footsteps, office sounds, noisy buildings, city traffic and transportation, a Land Rover, and Ambisonic Berlin ambiences. You’ll also hear always-needed elements like cinematic transitions and whooshes, as well as rarer libraries that feature Shepard tones, Tibetan singing bowls, suitcases, and interferences. Happy listening!
'Swipes and Whooshes' by Soundholder gets you a range of whooshes with the perfect textures for your movements and weapons. With an impressive 1,841 sound effects, you'll hear sounds of whooshing brooms, mops, ropes, cloth, torches, umbrellas, baskets, swinging objects, and much more! Each high-quality file was edited and mastered, so they are easy to implement and capable of being stretched and manipulated to perfectly complement a swinging punch or hurdling fireball. If you need some whooshes (and we all do), give this one a listen.
'Land Rover Defender' by Flysound is a highly flexible library that gets you the fun, adventurous sounds of a diesel beast. With over 290 recordings, you'll hear sounds of its engine as it starts up, idles, drives, and peels away. These sounds were also recorded from multiple interior and exterior mics, making this a great library for your scenes that have multiple perspectives of the same event. All these details can be found in the metadata, too! If your project features a diesel all-terrain vehicle, this is the one to check out.
Noisy Buildings V1 by Bert Foley - Eklen Sounds gets you 39 echoing interior sound effects that will help you build unsettling, abandoned atmospheres. These sounds come from large and medium buildings, capturing their rich open spaces from strange sounds that disturbed the peace. You’ll hear the never-ending reverb from broken glass and concrete, banging doors, and rattling plastic as their reflections ring through creepy rumbling corridors and stairwells. If you're looking for a memorable disturbance that will put your audience on edge, this is a library to hear.
Transportation by BOOM Library takes you to noisy, rumbling street sides and train platforms. As the starting library of their new series, ‘Noisy Places’, you’ll get an impressive 4 hours and 12 minutes of ambiences from a variety of perspectives that will make you feel like you’re at a street corner hailing a cab or waiting for the next train. You’ll also get interior sounds from trains, ships, and jets - and most of the sounds are loopable, too! If you need traffic sounds that are detailed, varied, and carefully recorded, check this one out.
'Noise Elements: Electrical & Interference' by Glitchedtones features buzzing sounds of imagined electricity and interference that will add distinct tones to your alien transmissions and harsh static. You'll get 36 of these interesting sounds, allowing you a much richer range in your sci-fi or horror (or sci-fi horror) projects. Plus, you'll get lots of bonus content with selections from Glitchedtones' other libraries 'Data Disruption', 'Drones', 'Feedback Loop FX & Atmospheres', and 'Signal Interference'. Whether you're working on a project inspired by Dead Space or Fallout, you'll find the tense interferences you need right here!
'Suitcase – old traveler' by Dilex has 17 minutes of interesting sounds from a squeaky old suitcase. You'll hear creaking sounds as the luggage is opened and closed, as well as sounds of its buckles and locks and foley of someone packing and handling it. There are lots of variations of each action maintained on tracks that last from 13 seconds to almost 3 minutes. If you need sounds of a suitcase, this is the one.
'Smooth City Traffic' by Badlands Sound has 10 city traffic ambiences that are detailed enough to fill in your backgrounds without calling too much of the audience's attention to them. These sounds capture ambulances, semi trucks, SUVs, trucks, motorcycles, and squealing breaks both as pass-bys and from a distance to give you options. Plus, the ten files are 3 minutes each, so you'll get a total of a half hour of atmospheres for a cheap price. If you need sounds of city traffic fast, this one is a no-brainer!
Tile Footwork by Badlands Sound is a collection of over 1,000 tile footsteps for a price you barely have to think about. Featuring shoe types like boots, heels, dress shoes, slippers, old shoes, snowshoes, sandals, and trainers, you’re covered for a variety of characters who walk on clean and dirty tile. The 110 files also contain various performances, like running, scraping, landing, sprinting, falling, stomping, scraping, and more! Whether you have an extensive footsteps collection or you’re just starting one out, this library is a no-guilt compulsory buy.
Shepard Ambiences by The Sound Pack Tree is a collection of Shepard tones - the well-known audible phenomenon that's been used in media from Super Mario 64 to The Dark Knight's Bat-Pod. You’ll hear 44 types of endlessly rising and falling drones that buzz, whistle, squeak, sizzle, shimmer, and more. Plus, they’re all loopable, of course! For 39 minutes of an effect that will make your audience doubt their senses, give this one a listen.
Tibetan Crystal Singing Bowls by Kevin Durr gets you over 40 minutes of sounds from these meditative instruments. With a variety of performances and different sizes – from 8 to 12 inches – you’ll hear 9 tones and lots of vibrations performed from a series of hits and stirs. These high-quality recordings can be used as soothing layers, or you can pitch bend them to create subtle frequencies that may center your soundscapes or add tension if you'd like. For the beautiful sounds of ancient healing, this is the one you want.
Fundamental Office Sounds by Kevin Durr has all the elements you need for a realistic office soundscape. With sounds of pencils, pens, notebooks, staplers, tape, pencil sharpeners, scotch tape, hole punchers, and more, you’ll get over 130 sounds that were meticulously recorded and edited. These sounds can even fit in a mid-side or binaural soundscape for ultra-realism! For all the elements that make up the soundscapes of some people's 9-to-5, check this library out.
Ambisonic City (Berlin) by Detunized transports you to the capital of Germany with immersive urban soundscapes. You’ll hear sounds of city transportation with traffic, trams, trains, and planes, as well as pedestrian traffic, crowded squares, and airport ambiences. You’ll also hear ambiences from public parks, alleyways, and bridges from around the area. All these sounds are readily available in 4-channel B-Format or Stereo, so give both versions a listen!
Cinematic Transitions by Cinematic Sound Design has 110 adrenal sounds that will give your scenes a rush. With whooshes, swooshes, fly-bys, snaps, falls, splats, crushes, bells, and more, you’ll get the perfect texture to emphasize your animations, logos, scene transitions, and more. Most of the tracks are descriptively labeled, with names like ‘Downward Slap Transition’ or ‘Cash Register Transition’, so you can find what you’re looking for fast.
