Swimming Pool Ambience provides five distinct soundscapes spread through long, evolving and captivating sound recordings from Portugal’s primary water polo masculine and feminine leagues, a regional swimming competition, neutral takes at a public pool and locker room ambiences.
Water polo is a team based sport played in a swimming pool, where each player uses intense swimming strokes and tactics to score and defend their goal. This requires constant communication between team mates and coaches, prominently featured in this library, giving a distinct flavor to this sport with its booming echoes, splashes, shouting and plentiful goal celebrations. In addition to all this, you have varied crowd reactions, pre-match drills, team presentations and quieter moments.
The regional swimming competition audio files have abundant support chants from a young audience with minimal crowd dialogue, perfect to be used on any audiovisual project set in a swimming pool. The neutral takes of people swimming at a different public pool with no crowd conversations complement this section, providing different options for smart sound editing.
With a little over four hours of content, this library is your deep dive into the world of aquatic sports.
Introducing our sound library of a SF19 4.5″ TB OSP, a cal. 9x19mm semi-automatic pistol manufactured by HS Produkt. This modernized and improved version of the popular XDM handgun features a polymer frame, 19 rounds magazine, forged slide and hammer forged barrel.
Using a large array of various microphone configurations, we recorded shots from several distances both with and without silencer. We then moved to our studio to capture an extensive range of foley, including mag in and out, chamber cycles, selector switches, suppressor, trigger actions and more.
This library also comes with carefully designed assets in stereo and 5.1, created from our raw files. It includes powerful shots with and without suppressor, 3 meticulously crafted types of tails (Wide, Urban and Interior) and punchy foleys.
Multiple mic perspectives
The raw shots feature a total of 16 recording positions, from shooter perspective up to 80 meters, with a total of 25 channels. Among these you will find high SPL microphones attached to the weapons for mech sounds, CO-100k for ultrasonic content, large-diaphragm microphone close to the ground for punchy low ends, ambisonic perspective and much more! We also recorded the foley with multiple microphones, including a CO-100k for drastic pitch changes.

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.
