Neighbors: Sounds Behind Walls is a unique collection, offering over 3 hours of sounds capturing the daily activities of neighbors living next or above you. This collection can be used especially to bring life to quiet spaces/rooms.
Think about indistinct sounds from neighbors walking around, setting the table, making coffee, tea, load and unload the dishwasher, cooking, tidying up the room, flushing the toilet, using the water tap, vacuum cleaning, dry blowing their hair, brushing their teeth, taking something out of the fridge or freezer, opening and closing curtains, or even practicing an instrument. And that is not all. We’ve also covered a “noisy” neighbor walking around the room, using or slamming doors, jumping, moving furniture and walking up and down the stairs.
All recordings are clear and completely free from external noise, voices and other disruptions. No additional reverb is used for more flexibility.
Utilizing two microphone setups provides two variations for each recording, offering both more pronounced and more distant options.

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 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.

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.
