Barbershop Vol. 1 is the first instalment in a series of candid recordings captured in a Mancunian Barbershop (Speak Easy Barber Club).
This library showcases the sounds created by the furniture inside a barbershop, such as the creaks and moans from the staircase leading up to the shop, the running taps from the hair-washing station, and the movements from a barber’s chair.
Additionally, we’ve include recordings of a hair dryer, water spray bottle, pomade tin, and more!
For the sound of groomers, hair brushes and scissors – look no further than Barbershop Vol. 2 for all your sonic trimming, clipping, and shaving needs.
These sounds provide you with natural, unprocessed sounds that can be used for barber-specific projects or manipulated further for a variety of film, TV, game, and soundscape projects.
All sounds are delivered in 24Bit 96kHz format allowing further sonic manipulation and have been meticulously edited and tagged with extensive UCS compliant metadata for ease of use.

Foley Touch/Rub

Tattoo Parlour & Barbershop Bundle features field recordings of two local businesses in Manchester, England. A plethora of objects, activity and movement were captured at a tattoo parlour and barbershop, providing you with detailed and specific sounds grounded in reality.
Our Audio Craftsmen meticulously recorded and edited a multitude of in-shop sounds, including scissor snips, tattoo pen hums, creaky steps, squeaky doors, bottle sprays, item handling, room tone, clipper buzzes and much more!
Use this bundle to enliven tattooing or hairdressing scenes across Film, TV and Game projects.
The entire bundle is delivered at 24Bit 96kHz and tagged with extensive Metadata for ease of use.
Continuing the popular Videogame Foley Essentials series (Vol. I, Vol. II), Vol. III offers an additional 1355 individual sound effects all mixed at the same volume level, carefully cleaned of any unnecessary background noise and artifacts. These sounds are ready to be integrated into any audio middleware solution, such as Wwise or FMOD. Recorded with videogame development in mind, all sounds are short, snappy one-shots with dozens of iterations, making them ideal for layering, stretching and bending to achieve surprising results. The goal is to streamline the workflow for editors and sound designers by providing ready-to-use sound batches for their middleware projects, avoiding auditory repetition and fatigue for gamers while keeping them fully immersed in their upcoming adventures.

With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.
A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.

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.
