Ambisonics – Lisbon compiles 57 long and evolving sound files from Portugal’s sunny capital, known for its unique river/ocean-side location and diverse lifestyles.
Busy traffic intersections from the city’s famous avenues contrast with the quiet ambience of its picturesque neighborhoods. These areas are splashed with riverside waves and distant boat engines and also include chatty tourist hotspots like Carmo’s Street, Feira da Ladra’s flea market, or A Brasileira’s coffee shop. Lisbon’s main plazas also abound with centered recordings, resulting in complete cityscapes with both busy traffic flow and pedestrian action.
Some of the city’s gardens were recorded on hot summer days, capturing cicada calls, the chirping of multiple bird species, and curious sightseers exploring the surroundings.
The city’s trademark trams are also prominently featured on all traffic soundscapes but also with an interior ride take for full VR immersion. Other city transportation vehicles, such as cable cars, trains, subways, and their respective stations, are also included. They were recorded on multiple floors and distances, some with interior takes as well. With nearly 6 hours of versatile and original content, you’re guaranteed to find the right cityscape from one of Europe’s most sought-after tourist destinations.

This Sound Pack is part of the General Ambience Series by Systematic Sound. Sounds Of Madrid 01 captures the sound of the Spanish Capital. You will find a fine selection of curated ambiances that are typical for a South European city. The traffic seems a bit more busy, with more scooters and motorbikes than in North European cities. People on the streets are more open and the Walla in the background is usually a bit louder with lots of shouts and laughter. Police, ambulance and firetruck sirens have their own distinctive sound. Madrid has a lively scene when it comes to restaurants, cafés and tapas bars. I have made sure that all your „Spanish restaurant Walla“ needs are covered. Lastly you will find some transportation sounds capturing the vibe of a Spanish metro and train station, as well as interior recordings of a metro and train ride.

This Urban City Ambience Sound Effects Library is part of the General Ambience Series by Systematic Sound. Urban City 02 extends the series with the first ambience library in 5.0 Surround. This time, I’ve used a Sennheiser MKH 8040-30 DMS system which has differences in tone and features a much more precise and stable image compared to the ORTF array used in Urban City vol. 01.
In this release you will find 82 brand-new high quality recordings that will complement the ones you own from vol. 01 to give you even more flexibility in post.
What constitutes the sound of a modern urban city? Obviously all kinds of traffic related ambiances are included as well as more quiet ones that feature all the nuances of urban air-tones, tonal hums and deep city rumbles. I’ve recorded in residential areas and city parks to capture peoples typical urban city life activities and well as the fast and busy life downtown in the center. The recordings have been made at different times of day and in different weather conditions (rain, wind, etc.). To capture the acoustic properties of the urban environments, I placed the rig in the middle of huge empty squares, in narrow streets, recorded the typical slap back echoes you typically get between high buildings. To even get more variety, I placed the rig in small and larges alleys (with trees and without) as well as in tiny corners, under canopies and even in underground passages.

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.
