Sounds from a Transit System on Pause.
Underground Ambiences and Mechanical Atmospheres for Cinematic and Abstract Soundscapes.
The Still Line is a 139-minute sound effects library capturing the rare stillness and quiet pulse of an underground rail network paused in time. Recorded during a period of minimal traffic, as public life slowly returned after lockdowns, it spans resonant tunnels, hushed platforms, and moving trains, with subtle human presence woven throughout—footsteps, luggage wheels, and distant voices—adding life without disrupting the pervasive stillness. These recordings offer rich ambiences and precise mechanical textures, perfect for grounding a scene in reality, providing unique sonic textures, or reimagining it for something entirely new.
Step into an underground transit system where empty platforms, echoing tunnels, the mechanical heartbeat of infrastructure, and sparse human touches all coexist to create a cinematic soundscape.
This mini-library offers over two hours of recordings from quiet platforms, long tunnels, ticket halls, train interiors, and the subtle machinery that sustains the network. Freed from the usual crowd noise, every detail emerges: the tonal hum of escalators, the metallic sigh of air brakes, distant trains rolling through silent tunnels, and the layered resonance of vast, reflective chambers.
What’s Inside
Whether you’re building a dystopian future, crafting cinematic tension, or repurposing urban textures for abstract sound design, The Still Line offers a unique palette grounded in reality yet open to transformation.
This pack is filled with 50 short, dramatic audio cues designed for those tense moments when a monster makes its entrance.

Works great in video games, TTRPG sessions, card games, or any interactive project.
“Lullabies and Curses – A Vocal Tale” is a haunting vocal collection that intertwines the innocence of lullabies with the darkness of curses.
Every piece is performed with nothing but the raw human voice — no instruments, no synthesis — carrying emotions that shift between fragile tenderness and unsettling dread.
01. Lullaby of Dawn — a gentle melody that carries fleeting warmth.
02. Restless Cradle Song — a lullaby wrapped in unease and dissonance.
03. The Great Curse — a chant of overwhelming force, fusing solemnity with fear.
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.

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.
