Written by Lewis Thompson

Most people would be sad that weโ€™ve already reached November this year, but for composers and sound designers itโ€™s a different story: itโ€™s finally time for this years edition of Noisevember!

If you didnโ€™t know, Noisevember is a month-long challenge to create audio (be it music, sound design, synth patches, games, anything you like) every single day of the month, based on our list of daily prompts selected by the wonderful community at Airwiggles.com. Unlike most sound challenges, there is no pressure to create anything mind-blowingly amazing: Noisevember is all about fun, experimentation, practise, and community. There are no judges or requirements: just an excuse to have fun making new crazy sounds with the rest of the audio community!

For a bit of further incentive, weโ€™re delighted to announce some prizes! If you can submit 25 or more audio submissions to airwiggles.com/noisevember, you will win a copy of the fabled Airwiggles VIP Library: a sound library containing 1.4gb of sound effects owned by an exclusive club of Airwiggles prize winners. You will also be entered into a raffle for a chance to win an incredible sound library from Mattia Cellotto. Hereโ€™s whatโ€™s on offer!

Prizes from Mattia Cellotto:

Bonus: If you see any Mattia Cellotto libraries you like above, go ahead and get them anytime โ€“ if you win any of them, weโ€™ll refund your purchase of any of those 3 libraries youโ€™ve made during the giveaway period!

We are also happy to announce an additional raffle prize of a 6-month free trial to Full Scope Freelancer, an all-in-one business tool to help you build and manage your freelance audio business

But wait! Thereโ€™s more! As Noisevember is all about community sharing and learning, weโ€™re also encouraging people to share breakdown videos of how they created their sounds. If you can show off how you used any Kilohearts plugins in your submission, including those from the Kilohearts free essentials suite, then the best 5 breakdown videos at the end of Noisevember will be selected to win the following prizes:

Noisevember will be running every day through November. In order to participate, head over to airwiggles.com/noisevember to post your daily submission in each thread (along with any breakdown videos if you decide to make any!) The audio community has already started sharing their creations: so what are you waiting for! Now is the perfect time to do any audio practise, routine building, experimentation, learning, you would like to do. See you on over on Airwiggles!
