Lots of great new sound effects libraries were released by the indie community, and they’re going to make you want to take a vacation! You’ll hear calm ambiences from Tasmania, sounds from northern fishing villages in Norway, and waves along the shores of the Norwegian Sea. You’ll also hear sounds of the inner-workings of an Arvor 215 fishing boat and an ERF E14 tractor-trailer, a detailed library of gutters and drains, the delicate tones of wine glasses, experimental clocks, and a sci-fi pack that get you everything from guns to interfaces. You’re in for a mid-week treat!
Clocks Vol. 2
 
'Clocks Vol. 2' is the second installment of Badlands Sound's experimental timekeeper library. Each of its 33 files is one minute of loopable ticking sounds that came from metal, plastic, a metronome, and a grandfather clock. They were also recorded at 96kHz giving you the chance to create even more types of clocks. If you're looking for a memorable tick-tock sound for your project, look no further.

    Water & Ocean Sounds Harbours Of Norway Play Track 25+ sounds included, 167 mins total $32

    Harbours Of Norway sound library features 25 files with ambients recorded in Myre, Sto and Nyksund, very small towns with direct access to the sea. Most of the sound effects were recorded at night, but since it’s a polar day time of the year, it was very pleasurable to walk and look for convenient places to set up my gear. Everything was recorded with an ORTF setup built from two Sennheisers MKH 8040.

    Inside this library, you’ll find a lot of seagulls, waves crushing on the rocks and plants, windy ambients from the cliff, industrial sound from port in Myre with ship unloading the cargo, walla with steam engine boats and additional sounds from the boat engine market, and air cooling aggregates from food containers.

    Every file was recorded in 96kHz, edited (I removed any unintentional bumps, pops and unwanted sounds). I limited EQing to removing harsh frequencies, or enhancing a little bit the good sounding ones. At the end of the chain there is a small compression, for louder sounds.
