Presenting EXCAVATOR MAYHEM — a vast collection of massive sounds captured from a real backhoe loader in action with its engine off. Mud & Water is the first volume in this series, packed with everything you need to shake your audience with authentic, colossal recordings drawn from every imaginable liquid texture. No layering, no sound design — what you hear is exactly how it sounded on site.
This library condenses more than 5 hours of recordings from 4 sessions into a curated collection, captured at a riverbank, a swamp, and a pit dug with the excavator, where a spring began filling it with groundwater, creating a massive water pool. Combined with the excavator’s boom, this setting allowed me to perform large-scale foley actions such as impacts, drops, splashes, splatters, bubbles, drains, waterfalls, and much more.
Some recordings were captured with up to 10 channels across 4 microphone perspectives, including A-format ambisonics and an experimental stereo geophone that managed to capture rich underwater textures without the need for a hydrophone. These are available in the RAW folder, while the PROCESSED folder contains both downmixes from all microphones and subtly refined versions of the sounds with light compression and EQ—nothing too aggressive, just to give you more “ready-to-go” files.
Add a new layer of realism to your project with our Water Foley Sound Effects Pack. This collection features a variety of high-quality water sounds designed to bring dynamic energy to your gameplay.

“Super volcano” eruption sounds, magma lake ebullition sounds, lava movement, and landslide sounds.
The geyser and Masaya volcano sounds (magma lake, lava movement) were recorded with the Telinga Parabola with a Sennheiser MKH 8040. The Telinga was used for its powerful ability to focus on sound details at a reasonable distance.
The explosions and eruptions of the Fuego volcano were recorded in surround with a Sennheiser DMS setup (MKH 8040-30) and also with the Telinga Parabola + MKH 8020.
