City Life Sound Effects Quiet Streets 2 Play Track 62+ sounds included, 275 mins total $95

We present here the latest installment in our ongoing effort to curate unique ambiences tailored to urban and suburban scenes in movies and video games.

Subtle & Flavorful

This collection of ambiences is intended to set the mood against the backdrop of any city scenario and act as a subtle accompaniment to dialogue lines.

Unlike the previous volume, the sounds in this library were recorded worldwide over a period of 5 years.
We have taken great care in selecting and editing them to ensure they carry evocative and rich ‘airtones’.
In fact, they go beyond simple outdoor roomtones, often incorporating sounds of fauna, insects, local culture, and delicate flavorful sonic indications of time and location.
They, however, always stay low-profile and never presents intrusive noise that would interfere unless specified as a marker.

Dress the Silence

In addition to being a great filler for urban and suburban scenes, this collection will be a great companion when attempting to convey various feelings and moods such as quietude, post-apocalyptic, romanticism, mystery, depression, calmness, poetic, abandonment, nostalgia, freedom,….

For this volume, we have specifically chosen a diverse mixture of recordings from numerous countries across all continents broadening the palette of sounds delivered. These additions will enrich your main sound library and prove useful for a wide range of future projects.

All sounds in this library are in stereo. As extensive travels were involved in capturing these sounds, we decided to focus only on stereophonic capture instead of multichannel, making it more manageable throughout our journey. Nonetheless, these atmospheres embody a great sense of space and can be easily layered and spatialized in a surround space if needed.

We’ll definitely be back!

Wayne Pashley

Supervising Sound Editor/Re-recording Mixer, The Lego Movie & Mad Max: Fury Road

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!

David Farmer

Sound designer:
Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies

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!

Charles Deenen

Director, Digital - Source Sound Inc.

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!

Zdravko Djordjevic

founder of The Audio Spotlight

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!

Bob Bronow, CAS, MPSE
