New sound effects: Heavy construction, sci-fi UI sounds, urban rainstorms, WWII tanks & planes, squeaks – and dice games

'T-34-85 Russian World War II Tank' by Pole Position Production gives you 46 GB of historical boom power. This library features 373 files of a WWII Soviet tank, recorded in the style of a fleshed out car library. It has sounds of the tank driving around and crushing the dirt beneath its tracks, as well as 16 onboard channels that capture its interior. This is definitely not a library you can just find anywhere, and if you need historical accuracy—or you just want a tank in your project—this is the library for you!

Get ready to play with chance in 'Dice SFX Party' by Articulated Sounds. This collection has over 600 files of different types of dice as they roll and bounce off a variety of surfaces like wood, plastic, neoprene rubber, metal, glass, cardboard and more. These sounds are also cut into individual takes to be instantly implemented into your project—and at 96kHz, who knows what will come out when they're stretched. For all the dice sounds you could hope for, check out this library.

'Rain in the City' by Phonophilist has more than three hours of an urban rainstorm and all its intricacies. This library was recorded from the 9th floor of a city building in Minsk, Belarus, and it features sounds of rain drops on the roof as well as rain water flowing through drain pipes and storm drains. It also has recordings of the storm from the street level where rain falls onto cars, metal surfaces and umbrellas. If you are looking for sounds of a stormy city, check out this library.

'Dark Sci-Fi UI' by The Sound Keeper features sounds you'd expect to find on a lonely spaceship deep in the outer limits of space. These sounds were influenced by the serious tones of movies like Prometheus and Oblivion, giving you a dark mood unlike other sci-fi or user interface libraries. With 1000 sounds, this collection contains beeps, buttons, calculations and on/off sounds, as well as loops, glitches, drones, transitions and more. If you need UI sounds with a distinct futuristic timbre, this is a library you should hear.

'Squeaks and Creaks Two' by RDGsoundFX has nearly two hours and over 1000 sounds of creaks and squeaks from every nook and cranny they could access. This library features several doors—screen doors, sliding doors, locker doors, garage doors—as well as creaking wooden gates, floors, cabinets and hinges, and squeaky styrofoam, running shoes, plastic straws and much more. With so many textures and variations and a 192kHz mastered quality, you can create strange animal calls, creepy drones, UI sounds and just about whatever you can think of!
