    Need the sounds of a deserted school? This library delivers a range of room tones from empty corridors, cellars, staircases, toilets and dining halls – featuring ventilation sounds and heaters humming in empty halls during the Christmas holidays.

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.
 
The Rush
 
  • The Rush is a collection of massive rushing sounds that are perfect for use in timelapses, swirls, swarms, and any other massive movement situation. It features 319 sound rushed files that were generated from 30 lovingly curated sources and carefully rendered in Sound Particles.

    Sound sources range from trains and race cars to vinyl, metal and paper frictions to gore, motorcycles and helicopters. Parameters are tweaked to yield textured and interesting results with detailed heads and tails that rush in and gently dissolve out.

    Each rush has a different number of particles running, so you get every level from sparse detailed movement to overwhelming waterfalls of sound per sample set. Check it out today!

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. Each of the 319 tracks hold both visual context and artistic interpretation, making these sounds perfect for transitions, sound design, and wherever your mind goes with them.
 
3D Printer (NSL)
 
  • Get the sounds of a Printrbot 3D printer – with four NEMA 14 stepper motors -, in this interesting SFX library by New Sound Lab.

    The high torque motors connected to a pulley system control the X-Y-Z movements of the aluminum extruder and metal print bed. When printing three-dimensional objects, these fast and precise movements result in a unique barrage of percussive and rhythmic mechanical noise.

    These sounds were captured using three different recording setups: Barcus Berry contact mics, RF coils, and combined contact mic / RF coil into a Sound Devices 702 recorder.

    The resulting sounds are a mix of grainy, gritty atonal patterns, robotic percussive bleeps, glitchy digital beeps/clicks, low fidelity drones, and chaotic noise. Both raw recordings, and processed elements are included and ready for further sound manipulation.

3D printers are not only transforming small businesses, they can also revolutionize how you create music and sound design. With its inherently musical hums and buzzes, '3D Printer (NSL)' by New Sound Lab can take your signature sound to a new level, whether it be for a breathtaking film trailer, aggressive industrial rock, or a malicious AI. With intense hums, tonal glitches, noisy patterns, chaotic beeps, and much more, this library will blow your ears away when you hear it - and luckily it can print you some new ones.
