Geophonic Design contains a wide variety of unique and abstract designed sounds which include infrasonic frequencies as low as 10Hz. The effects in this library have a science fiction/horror vibe, everything from alien spaceships to underwater ambiences. These are perfect for your films, video games, documentaries and other projects that require a mysterious and ominous soundscape.
Our Audio Craftsmen used a ‘Geophone’ which is a seismic measurement device used to record seismic waves and vibrations of the earth, to record low heavy vibrations and rumbles of various surfaces and materials, often using metal resonators to enhance the sound. We captured sounds from window glass, busy roads with vehicle pass bys, metal posts and rails with football impacts, water passing through pipes, metal containers, plastic buckets and much, much more.
All of the included sounds were then precisely edited and designed by our dedicated in-house team to build ambiences such as: outer space, underground bunkers, submarines, weather stations and other abstract ambiences. Moreover, all the files are available in 24Bit 96kHz and extensively tagged with metadata and are UCS compliant to simplify your workflow.
The subsonic sounds in this library will also make a great addition to your library as layered effects, to build an enigmatic mood in your projects, and will be perfect as drones and backgrounds for futuristic, sci-fi and horror scenes.

Sci-Fi UI is a collection of 401 unique, futuristic, alien-technology sounds divided into 7 thematic collections. This is not just another collection of bleeps and bloops. The sounds were created by manipulating field recordings, Foley, and sound effects giving them a personality with an organic, emotional and performative feel. The types of sounds include positive, negative, and neutral alerts, alarm loops, file and program loading, power up and power down sounds, software glitches, and system failures. Also included is a collection of alien technology ambience loops called “Control Room Tones” to help you design your spaceship interiors.
Let’s Go Splitsies!
Please note: This Multipass package does not include all Snapins, but the 5 listed on this product page.
When adding effects to a sound, it’s not uncommon to want to apply these effects to just a certain part of the sound. For example, you might not want a complex chorus to affect your bass too much, or a hard distortion to totally fry your high end. Either way, multiband processing adds a dimension to effect chains that really opens up a new world of options in sound design. Multipass helps you with this, allowing you to split the input sound into up to 5 easily tweakable frequency bands and applying unlimited number of effects to each band. Pitch shifted auto pan with a filtered chorus delay distortion? Coming right up!
Band splitting comes with a bit of a price. It’s unavoidable (without adding latency) to mess a bit with the phase of the sound. Usually this is not a problem, but when chaining multiple multiband effects this can add up to a lot of phase distortion. In Multipass, the band splitting is only done once no matter how many effects you add, leaving the phase as minimally harmed as possible. It also sorts out dry/wet mixing of effect lanes properly without phasing where possible. Parallel multiband compression, here we come!
While adding four filters a frequency shifter and a stereo width modifier can be interesting in itself, adding four filters with sweeping cutoff retriggered by audio threshold, a frequency shifter bound to the MIDI note and stereo width scaled by the input RMS can be… Well, probably strange. But it may be amazing, and trying it out is just a couple of clicks away. Try it!
When you’re tweaking a specific frequency band, the other bands and effects involved can sometimes make it hard to properly hear what’s going on. Mute or solo effect lanes to quickly home in on what you’re doing. And if you automate it, it can even be an effect in itself!
Don’t worry about latency. No matter how you route things or what effects you add, Multipass makes sure everything is as in sync as they can be to make sure all modulation aligns properly and to avoid phasing issues.
German engineering in its high performance.
I would love to introduce you to the 2019 Porsche 911 Carrera S sound library for your sound editorial and designing purposes.
The library comes in three dedicated sections: RPM Collection (incl. Idling), Drive-Bys (incl. Approaches and Drive offs) and Interior drive recordings.
After lots of thought and planning, I managed to record, clean, and edit the recording for an extensive and easily accessible editorial experience to your production.
The RPM Collection gives you a large range of multi-microphone proximate and one-meter distance recordings of the engine, as well as a broad variety of details of the exhauster. This masterpiece of engineering got recorded on a vehicle lift to gather sounds from unreachable angles, catching all the richness and details of the engine.
With a large collection of Idling, Reverse, Steady RPMs, Revs, Accelerations and Decelerations, you will be able to use these sounds as a wonderful organic layer to your vehicle sound designs and edits.
The Drive-bys, approaches, and drive-offs section can be essential to maximize the quality of your production! This package includes Mono sound source following and Stereo drives of the 2019 Porsche 911, with velocities starting at Walking Speed, 10km/h – 80km/h to Reverse.
The Interior Drive series portraits the most beautiful driving experience with its unique comforting interior and design. I am thrilled to share with you the quadraphonic interior recordings of the front and rear of the car.
Covering the sounds driving over cobblestone, uneven and normal roads (reverse drive included) at multiple speeds from Walking Speed to 160 km/h!
Side note: The engine becomes nearly silent in times, which leaves us with just a beautiful interior rumble of the car driving over cobblestones.
Let your designing imagination be the limit of your creation!

We captured one iconic facet from the cacophony of our modern world development. Building new, demolishing or renovating the old. Our human soundscape (anthropophony) is busy and noisy. The constant desire to build along with our technological advancements allows creating building structures like never before. Construction sites are omnipresent in our daily life. We thus had to create one library of these intricate ambiences, raw, industrial, and mechanical.
In this collection, you will find pure rich soundscapes of mixed sounds, authentically recorded on construction sites through many countries. You will also find more specific tools or machines that are recorded more closely to the sound source. Chainsaw, Jackhammer, Backhoe, Driller, Grinder, Truck, Sanding Machine, Hammer, Earth Driller, Debris, Welding Torch,…
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.
