The Audi A6 is a sound library filled with powerful and emotive sounds that can captivate you from the first notes. In it we collected aggressive engine starts, the low rumbling exhaust sounds, driving at a variety of speeds, engine idling, and sharp braking with skids and whooshes. Every sound is a harmony of adrenaline and speed, character and power. This is the definitive sound library for the much-loved German modern classic that is the Audi A6. Designed specifically for the film, advertising and gaming industries, multi-channel sync recordings will propel your projects with unique style and dynamic mood.
In order to achieve this, we rigged two Neumann U 87 microphones to the engine, and one Neumann KM 184 mic to the exhaust. We set up a Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar and a Sennheiser SPM 8000 mic to capture the interior, and for the exterior we again deployed two Neumann U 87 mics and a Sennheiser MKH 416 mic. In the spirit of the excellence of German engineering, we were as comprehensive and meticulous as possible, and the results are there in the files.
This is a sound collection that will help you create an exciting racing, chasing atmosphere. Level up your audiovisual projects with our unique sound effects!

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.
