“Subterranean” explores the underground world, with ambiences of caves, abandoned mines, and tunnels, revealing the rich echoes and shifting textures of these hidden spaces.

Behind The Sounds:
The AMB01 Okefenokee Swamp library contains 39 ambient swamp soundscapes filled with songbirds, owls, crickets, wind, jumping fish, frogs, and more.
By renting a canoe and paddling over 30 miles into the swamp, I was able to capture and experience the heart of the swamp with no distractions for four days.
Maximized for realism, each track was recorded with x2 Sennheiser MKH 8020 microphones in a quasi-binaural SASS array. This technique gives each ambience a three-dimensional sound image that makes listeners feel like they’re actually there.

Recorded in pristine quality by field recordist and sound designer Chris Diebold (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Transformers: The Last Knight), these sounds encompass the many dense sonic layers of the rainforest with dripping rain, rich wildlife, tree and brush movement. For additional immersion into the soundscape of Indonesia, there are additional recordings of quaint, everyday life in the nearby Iban Tribal Village, and the unique bustling city sounds of Putussibau and Pontianak.

Included are ambient sounds of rain and post rain in the wetland, as well as many animals such as Mallard Ducks, Canada Geese, Trumpeter Swans, Coyotes, Great Horned Owls, Wood Ducks and more. Also of particular interest are sounds of waterfowl flapping their wings and splashing in the water. This pack can serve as a great construction kit for creating a colder climate wetland scene in your video game as several iterations of many of the sounds are included so that the player doesn’t hear the same duck sound over and over. Take a listen to the sample sounds and hear the benefit that the sound of nature, unprovoked and uninfluenced by human presence will bring to your game. Full metadata and UCS compliance allow you to find the sounds you need, when you need them.

Warm Countryside is a collection of countryside recordings taken from late April until early September across several locations of Spain.
These sounds were recorded over 3 years in southern Australia.
It comprises ambience and atmosphere recordings of beach waves, forest streams, rivers, a dripping cave system and even a sewage processing plant (The Poo Machine!!). There are also Hydrophone recordings of urban swamp insect life, jetties and water treatment systems. Many of the recordings offer multiple perspectives of the same subject from close up to distant.
They were all recorded using Sennheiser, DPA, Sanken and Soundfield Mics as well as a pair of Hydrophones. All recorded into Sound Devices 788 or 633 recorders.
The recordings were mixed to stereo with minimal post processing.
Most files are loopable. And great care was taken to record clean sounds that are useable in an edit.
I hope you enjoy and find these useful for you projects.
The Beach sounds were recorded on the Mornington Penunsula in Victoria Australia. The waves range from gentle currents lapping at the sand to heavy surf waves. Different perspectives from close to distant were recorded to give greater flexibility when editing. These were recorded using a pair of supercardioid mics.
The cave recordings were captured at the Yarrangobilly caves in the Kosciuszko National Park, they feature a continuously dripping soundscape. The entrance to one of the caves is a large cavern with part of the roof caved in. In this space birds dart around and water drips. Further into the cave there is just the continual dripping of water. These were recorded using a spaced pair of Omni mics to give a sense of space and a centre hypercardiod to pick some detailed drips.
Also captured at Kosciuszko National Park are some recordings of rain and wind gusts through trees. I was able to place the microphones and recorders into protected rock formation and leave them recording for hours on end.
A pair of hydrophones was used to explore an urban water treatment project at the Trin Warren Tam-boore (Bellbird Waterhole) The wetland has been designed to treat water from the surrounding area through natural biological processes. It provides water to irrigation systems for the Royal Park Golf Course and other sporting grounds in Royal Park.
I was able to record pumped water flow as well as a symphony of underwater insects. The insects probably included Backswimmers and Dragonfly larvae, often called ‘mudeyes’, amongst others.
The streams and rivers were recorded in both country New South Wales and Victoria. Most of these recordings were captured using Soundfield Microphones, the ST450 Mk2 as well as the SPS200. There is a variety of fast flowing, gentle, close up and distant. As well as a ’study on fishing from a tin boat’. No fish were caught.!!
And finally a machine. A sewage treatment plant gives us a great slopping, mixing sludge sound.
I hope you enjoy these sounds.
Wetland Atmosphere is a collection of pristine ambiences recorded at wetlands, marshes, bogs, lakes and other similar areas around Europe.
The library consists of 33 recordings ranging from 3 to 10 minutes in length, available both as stereo and surround. The recordings have been captured with a Sennheiser Double Mid-Side rig which was left out overnight in remote locations. This was to make sure that man-made noise and human interaction was kept to a minimum.
The library is accompanied by a comprehensive species list covering 68 birds and 7 amphibians in total.
Highlights include Bitterns with their booming calls, Common Loons and their wails being reflected off of trees, geese, ducks and swans making a racket, the insect-like clicking of Savi’s Warbler and the incessant croaking of various frogs and toads.
VARIOUS STANDING WATER ENVIRONMENTS
As used here, WETLANDS include places with standing fresh water such as swamps, marshes, ponds, and lakes. In fact, it’s the water itself that creates these very special acoustic biospheres – as a propagator of sounds, causing them to travel further and louder due to surface reflections and temperature layers.
RICH WILDLIFE SYMPHONIES
WETLANDS encloses recordings of wildlife and scenery at different day times and intensities. Are you looking for recordings of birds playing and hurrying across the water? Late evening frog concerts? Rainfall lapping on the lake? The slap of a beaver tail? Let these examples give you a fair idea of what this beautiful collection has on its great content list.
This Library is also part of The Complete Quiet Planet Bundle.
Libraries from Quiet Planet are covered by a special EULA - read it here.

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.
