Recorded and edited in a span of two weeks, this pack reflects the effort that went into its creation! The sounds are divided into BASIC and DESIGNED categories. Basic sound effects have one layer, and designed ones offer more complex, multilayered sound, often with magical textures. The sample rate of 16 bit offers the best quality/size ratio, with volumes hovering around -7 dB on average to make your life easier when leveling with background music. All SFX are clean of any noise. Great for both realistic and non-realistic game projects.

Every surface in our pack features at least 5 variations for both RUNNING and WALKING actions, ensuring dynamic realism when these variations are randomized by your game engine. Additionally, we’ve introduced LAYERS – Boots, Plate, Armor, and Water – that can be layered onto your default footsteps for a unique auditory experience. What sets our pack apart from others in the marketplace is its meticulous alignment. All 192 files are perfectly synced, so when two or more SFX play simultaneously, they harmonize seamlessly. This precision offers the freedom to blend diverse surfaces and layers, forging realistic and captivating footstep sounds. Note that there are no walking or running loops in this pack, only single-step sound effects.
For instance, imagine your character traversing a swampy terrain:
Thanks to the flawless synchronization of our files, triggering the Grass 1 and Water Layer SFX simultaneously produces a rich auditory blend, perfectly encapsulating the feel of a swampy area.
Tip 1: Use plate, boots, and armor layers alongside surfaces to give a special flavor to your movements, depending on which equipment your character is wearing.
Tip 2: Although volumes are matched pretty nicely as it is, playing with volume levels can help you to layer sounds more creatively. For example, if you layer grass, gravel, and armor, you can adjust the volumes for each depending on what you want to create.

Certain sounds evoke memories of our childhood homes. By listening to them again, whether by chance or intentionally, we can magically be transported back to that time and place. For me, one sound that is forever engrained into my memory is that of an old vacuum cleaner. Vacuum Cleaners is my attempt at rediscovering the unique sound of the machine I remember from when I was a kid. To my imaginative, adolescent ears, it sounded like a rocket ship, a blimp and a race car. I couldn’t get enough of it.
Included are 35 machines: stick, canister, upright, robot, handheld, hand pump, industrial and central vacuum cleaners, plus antique and modern sweepers, a steam mop, carpet cleaner and shampoo polisher. To my ears, each motor’s unique voice sounds like something way beyond a simple vacuum cleaner. Vintage uprights howl and roar like rocket ships, classic space-age canister vacuums whine like futuristic hovercraft. There’s a central vacuum that can suck the life out of you and an antique pump vacuum that gives off eerie breath-like sounds.
I recorded some machines while sweeping back and forth in front of my microphones. For others, I captured them in place, in line with my belief that these motors sound more like rocket engines than vacuum cleaners. I created loops when a file allowed for it. To record a wooden Adler-Royal sweeper at an antique store, I asked the owner if I could walk around the store and sweep the aisles. She said yes, so I slung a Domke bag over my shoulder and gaffer taped a pair of contact mics to the sweeper. The result sounds like a muffled boulder going down a hill.

There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
