New sound effects: Mopeds, 3D printers, schools, EMF, trolls, timelapses – and world ambiences:

In the calm before the storm, a new teacher arrives early, with lesson plans ready to go, waiting for the school busses to role in. He slows his breath, meditating on the cool humming of the AC, buzzing fluorescent lights and ticking clock that keeps him company. 'Empty School Roomtones' by Borg Sound captures these ambiences and more with 21 ambient sounds captured during the holiday break. There is the faint rumble of traffic on the other side of a dining hall's glass doors, buzzing elevators, humming heaters, trickling water pipes, and other sounds that, with no voices of children or teens, signals the building is at peace.

echo | collective never ceases in their creativity and quality, and 'The Rush' is a perfect mix of the two. This library takes a whole new approach to a whooshing library with swirling timelapses of 30 differently textured sources. You will hear not only the detailed sounds of hurried traffic, trains, helicopters, and crowds, you will also hear sounds of dashing waterfalls, fires, gore, rain, rollercoasters, wind, and much more.
