344 Sound Effects proudly presents The Antiques Collection, a meticulously recorded bundle that captures the distinct, textured sounds of objects from a bygone era. The sonic qualities of antique items can be elusive, often requiring specific techniques and a variety of recordings to faithfully reproduce their authentic character. With this collection, our in-house team has delivered a suite of high quality recordings designed to bring depth, age, and historical richness to your projects.
The Antiques Collection features a thoughtfully curated selection of objects, sourced over several years through trusted auctioneers across the UK, and a dedicated independent antiques dealer based in our home city of Manchester, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.
This bundle contains recordings of antiques such as mechanical typewriters, rotary telephones, vintage bottles, dusty books, old clocks, metal boxes, luggage, and antique cutlery. These aren’t just props, they’re full of tonal nuance. From the weighty click of typewriter keys to the gentle clink of glass bottles, every sound has been captured with precision and care to highlight the tactile, resonant qualities that only age and craftsmanship can produce.
Each recording in this bundle was performed and captured under controlled studio conditions, meticulously tested across a variety of surfaces and materials to ensure realism, clarity, warmth, and sonic consistency. You’ll hear the weighty thud of vintage luggage being set down, the crisp ticks of antique wooden clocks, the textured rustle of pages in a well-worn book, and the delicate clink of aged cutlery against a handcrafted oak table. Whether you’re designing sound for period films, historical documentaries, games, or audio dramas, this bundle provides an immediate and authentic solution, saving you the time and effort of sourcing rare items yourself.
With over 700 files and 2.8GB, 24bit, 96kHz, of professionally captured antique recordings, this bundle offers a comprehensive library of unique, characterful sounds, making it your go-to resource for adding genuine vintage detail and historical depth to any audio project.
Take a trip back in time with our new sound effects library, Antique Clocks. Our Audio Craftsmen have exclusively captured the sounds of various, genuine antique clocks including, but not limited to, multiple antique mechanisms, Grandfather clocks, mantel clocks and pendulum clocks.
This collection has all the staple sounds for your films, documentaries, video games and other projects, in particular those with historical settings.
All sounds were recorded in 24Bit 96kHz allowing further sonic manipulation in our acoustically treated Foley suite. We then meticulously edited and tagged the files with extensive UCS compliant metadata for ease of use.
TOOLBOX FOR MECHANICAL SOUND DESIGN
Clocks and Mechanics is the ultimate tool to design mechanical processes and tell stories with the ticking, chiming and ringing of clocks. Whether you have to create tiny mechanical movements, rattling gadgets or even large gear mechanisms like steampunk machines, this library will cover it all.
CLEAN AND DETAILED RECORDINGS
Clocks and Mechanics provides you with recordings of grandfather clocks, wall clocks, desk clocks, alarm clocks, pocket watches and many small mechanisms, all carefully edited and natural sounding.

ONE OF THE LARGEST CLOCK SOUND LIBRARIES
Severeal recording sessions in the workshops of various clockmakers resulted in a library containing 440 soundfiles with more than 2300 individual sounds, making this collection one of the biggest clock libraries available on the market.
Artur Baryshev (Sound Designer)
“One of the most detailed library out there! It contains a huge amount of carefully recorded clock-related material, which can be used in a wide variety of situations: not only for clocks, but for small mechanical things, steampunk robots, UI, ambience, motion design and the list goes on. Also, this library contains the biggest amount of ticks I ever saw. Nice!”

We’ve given you the dry version to design your self or use the samples already pre drenched in the same reverb for consistency to use straight away in any project. You can mix the single hits to create unique tick/tock patterns as well. Not only are these great for clock based tick/tocks, but the single hits can also be used as percussion for compositions or to add to other layers to create impact hits.

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.
