Newsreel Noises features a collection of unwanted Noises, Rumbles, Hums & Crackles – collected when digging through copies of newsreels from the the 40ies and 50ies of the last century. Whenever such a newsreel starts or ends a lot of sidenoises occur and each one plays another pattern of mysterious sounds. The library is organised into 10 categories:
* Cadenced, Crackle, Hum, Impulse, Noise, Pulsed, Rattle, Rhythmical, Shuttle, Tonal
The library delivers more than 150 WAV-files with embedded loop points. Each file has a descriptive name where the first part describes the strongest element of the sound and the second part gives additional informations about the structure of each sound.
Featuring a very special (and spatial) library. If you want true natural interior noises, Noisy Buildings delivers. The pack contains high quality sound files, recorded in abandoned spaces. This first volume represents rumble and rattle sounds, perfectly suited for psychedelic and horror madness – or just when you want to create an unsettling atmosphere. The sounds are rich in natural reverbation, which is specific for large and medium building spaces. For example, you can find very loud and strange sounds of breaking windows, falling into the elevator shaft.
Magic source material.
Processed and designed paper recordings that sound like thunder.
Enter the bowels of Paris, where metro passages shake the walls, and machines and ventilations echo down the corridors and platforms.
All files are embedded with extensive UCS compliant metadata.

We collected these interior recordings over the years, capturing the unique atmospheres of rooms and places during our travels. Our equipment varied across sessions, adapting to the setting—whether in bustling cities, quiet small towns, remote countryside, the Himalayas, the Amazon, or distant islands. Our goal was to document the essence of each space, preserving the aural footprint of every location we visited.
Some recordings feature little more than stillness, while others include traces of local wildlife heard through windows or thin walls. You may also detect ambient noises like heaters, distant hums, machinery, traffic, or neighbors, resonating differently depending on the surrounding architecture.
We meticulously selected the best recordings, refining them to remove sections with excessive variation. Each sound was carefully edited to maintain a level of noise within the ‘subtlety’ range, ensuring they work seamlessly as background atmospheres that smooth out the sonic environment of any scene.
We are proud to present this collection, featuring some of the finest indoor silences we’ve ever captured—rich with delicate, everyday sounds at the edge of human perception. These recordings will help you effortlessly recreate beautiful, immersive spaces with natural charm.
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.
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.
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.

The “Seismic Activities” sound archive contains over 2500 different noises from vibrations, shocks and their resonances. We have taken the trouble to use a set-up of different natural sounds, such as frequency drops, thunder or the sound of deep rumbling, to control two structure-borne sound transducers.
The “Seismic Activities” sound archive contains over 2500 different noises from vibrations, shocks, and their resonances.
We have taken the trouble to use a set-up of different natural sounds, such as frequency drops, thunder, or the sound of deep rumbling, to control two structure-borne sound transducers. We have installed these converters in various locations. For example, we were at a company that produces large roller doors. There we shook all sorts of pipes, high racks, tool cabinets, gates, and the like.
In addition, we worked with many household items to create a variety of sound structures, which should make the use of “seismic activities” particularly diverse.
Almost all of the sounds were generated from a multi-channel set-up made up of Sennheiser MKH80 (ORTF), DPA 4060 (AB) and a Sony DR100. So you can expect the best sound quality. As always, a Sounddevices 744T and a Mixpre were used as recording devices.
As always, all files come with burned in metadata in open standards like iXml, BWAV, ID3 Chunk.

‘Traffic Tones’ will help build flavorful air tones and atmospheres in order to support urban or suburban environments.
This sound library is divided into 2 main sections
1) Traffic Loops
2) Single Event Sounds
The first part of this library comprises a wide variety of long undisturbed traffic loops;
exempt from excessive dynamic fluctuations, and without any incongruous noises (such as birds).
These are non-disruptive atmospheres that you can easily layer up.
Ready to be inserted into your project, they will help you build the foundation of your own soundscape.
The second part of this library consists of ‘single event’ sounds.
They will bring character to your sound-bed and help soundify any story/visual cues.
You will find in this section well-classified eclectic sounds such as whistles, sirens, brake squeals,
but also more than 110 individual horns, and a massive collection of 300+ pass-by of all kinds…
The diversity of sounds delivered in this library reflects the large-scale recording process that took us 5 years to gather the right material, recorded throughout 30 cities in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, from various perspectives in space and time, various weather conditions, various terrain type, and vehicle types.
***Most of the library were recorded in 192KHz, however, in the majority of the recordings, there was no reason to keep this sample rate. Hence we saved some space and converted it to 96KHz unless interesting spectral information was found in these high ranges, in this case, we kept them at 192 kHz.
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.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
We’ll definitely be back!
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.
