Cinematic & Trailer Sound Effects EXCAVATOR MAYHEM – Mud & Water Play Track 135 sounds included, 105 mins total $110

Presenting EXCAVATOR MAYHEM — a vast collection of massive sounds captured from a real backhoe loader in action with its engine off. Mud & Water is the first volume in this series, packed with everything you need to shake your audience with authentic, colossal recordings drawn from every imaginable liquid texture. No layering, no sound design — what you hear is exactly how it sounded on site.

This library condenses more than 5 hours of recordings from 4 sessions into a curated collection, captured at a riverbank, a swamp, and a pit dug with the excavator, where a spring began filling it with groundwater, creating a massive water pool. Combined with the excavator’s boom, this setting allowed me to perform large-scale foley actions such as impacts, drops, splashes, splatters, bubbles, drains, waterfalls, and much more.

Some recordings were captured with up to 10 channels across 4 microphone perspectives, including A-format ambisonics and an experimental stereo geophone that managed to capture rich underwater textures without the need for a hydrophone. These are available in the RAW folder, while the PROCESSED folder contains both downmixes from all microphones and subtly refined versions of the sounds with light compression and EQ—nothing too aggressive, just to give you more “ready-to-go” files.

Destruction & Impact Sounds Stone Processing Factory Play Track 63 sounds included, 91 mins total $29

STONE PROCESSING FACTORY is a sound library that captures the process of stone materials being transformed into slabs within heavy machinery.
It includes a wide range of metallic machinery sounds, the deep rumble of heavy stone vibrations, squeaks of friction, and the hiss of air valves releasing pressure. From cutting, rinsing, grinding, heating, flaming, manual back glue scraping, to transport operations, every step and every machine sound is thoroughly recorded. And of course, the noisy, industrial atmosphere of the factory itself.

It is more than just an industrial site. Here, machinery condenses the slow forces of nature into bursts of mechanical power. For example, water mixed with sand can cut through stones, same way as the constant erosive action of canyons. The friction of countless tiny particles swings back and forth between stereo channels. And the stones resisting the machinery create vibrations that resemble the heavy bass strikes of techno music, pounding directly into our nervous system.
In the preview, these various sounds are woven together in a montage, unfolding like a cyberpunk dream.

This library includes total 47 files, consisting of 22 mono files and 25 stereo files recorded in spaced pair at 96 kHz. Approx. 1 hour and 31 minutes total.Certainly, this library was carefully tagged with rich Soundminer metadata, including marks in the recordings highlighting interesting sounds.

All the recordings were recorded, edited and mastered with love and care.

Wayne Pashley

Supervising Sound Editor/Re-recording Mixer, The Lego Movie & Mad Max: Fury Road

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!

David Farmer

Sound designer:
Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies

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!

Charles Deenen

Director, Digital - Source Sound Inc.

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!
