Electricity Sound Effects Vintage Radio Play Track 147 sounds included, 103 mins total $30

Vintage Radio includes long takes of AM and FM frequency browsing, along foley content featuring all the buttons and switches present on this old-school stereo receiver.

The AM static and noise recordings have a warmth rarely found on modern radios, perfect for use in military settings or obscure transmissions in spy flicks. The FM browsing sounds feature traditional rapid radio station switching with garbled voices, brief musical stings, and a mix of cleaner, harsher static and noise suitable for more modern contexts.

Both the AM and FM browsing takes also include extended segments where I experiment with this stereo receiver’s equalizer. These takes possess a certain musicality, as the frequency boosts and reductions introduce additional variation to the aforementioned neutral recordings.

To complement this library, there are foley recordings of all the buttons, faders and switches on this stereo receiver’s front panel.

Environments & Ambiences RSFX – Hotel Sounds Play Track 43 sounds included, 180 mins total $35

Step inside the real-world atmosphere of a modern European hotel. This sound effects library was recorded over the course of a week at the Holiday Inn in Ghent, Belgium — with microphones carefully placed to capture the natural flow of people and space.

At the heart of the hotel lies a large, open atrium where guests eat, drink, and gather throughout the day. From quiet breakfasts to late-evening conversations, the recordings reflect a wide range of crowd sizes and moods — always subtle, always authentic.

By staying and living inside the hotel for a full week, I was able to blend in and document the building’s true sonic character across different times and conditions. These are not staged recordings — this is the sound of real life, captured with care.

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!
