The clink of dishes and cups, the definitive click of a light switch, and the soft buzz of an electrical socket coming to life narrate the rhythm of routine. Amid these, the hum of a sewing machine, the purr of a coffee grinder, and the whir of appliances like toothbrushes blend with the subtle command of an air conditioner remote, composing an orchestra of domesticity that resonates with the comfort of home.
In the quiet narrative of spaces, doors play a pivotal role, their sounds marking transitions and moments of privacy. The click of a lock on a wooden door, the gentle sweep of a corridor door opening and closing, and the tactile feedback of an entrance handle offer a sense of security and belonging. The unmistakable sound of a key turning in a lock, the soft thud of a closet door, and the distinctive clinks of lock mechanisms punctuate the silence with intention. The smooth hiss of a hydraulic door contrasts with the creak of an old wooden apartment door, each adding its own chapter to the story of daily comings and goings, encapsulating the essence of threshold moments in the fabric of everyday life.

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!
