A rough, tractor-like rumble of the engine with pronounced low-note vibrations, while on the outside you hear the mealy, rolling sound of a reliable vehicle, especially from a standing start. This is the successor of the legendary UAZ-469, and the engine finds itself sonically as one that aims for the eternal compromise between military reliability and civilian comfort. The sound is rough, with an iron accent, as if the modern system is assembled from the hardy parts of yore.
To capture the sounds of the UAZ Patriot, a carefully selected set of microphones was used to record all the key details of the vehicle. The engine was recorded with a Neumann U 87, while the exhaust was captured using an Electro Voice 868. Inside the cabin, sounds were recorded with two microphones: a Shure 57 and a Neumann KM 184 for the front section, and a Sennheiser SPM 8000 for the rear area. External pass-by recordings were made with Oktava and Sennheiser MKH-416 microphones, and additional external spot recordings (Spot A) were captured using Neumann U 87 and Sennheiser MKH-416. This comprehensive approach allowed us to create a full and vivid sound portrait of the UAZ Patriot, reflecting its character and dynamics.
The sounds of a modern motor that knows its roots!
The recording of this powerful fireball of a race car was performed on a specialist chassis dynamometer system to give you the most realistic and immersive sounds possible. The library includes the characteristic roar of the engine, its start, its revving, idling, dynamic acceleration, and spectacular braking at different speeds, as well as the sounds of gear shifting and engine cut-off.
In our special set-up, we rigged the following microphones to capture the engine, one of each of the following: Electro Voice RE-20, Neumann U 87, Sennheiser MKH 416, Shure SM77, Telefunken M81, and a Violet Design Amethyst Vintage. As for the exhaust system, a Sennheiser MKH 416, Neumann U 87, and Sennheiser SPM 8000 were deployed.
By recording in what can rightly be called laboratory conditions on the whirring dynamometer, we believe that here in the files are possibly the most faithfully accurate recordings of a race car ever captured for sound industry purposes, getting you as close as never before to a Formula-level racer as it really sounds in performance mode. Vroom vroom!
Pole position for audiophiles!

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.
