This sound library celebrates the iconic sound of the Rolls-Royce “Merlin” V12 petrol engine.
Used in many aircraft during World War II, this small library was based on the opportunity to get up close to a fully-restored Merlin engine, which is mounted on a display trailer with a propeller attached.
Proudly owned by Paul Lawrence, this library features recordings of a number of static engine runs from different perspectives. The exhausts distinctly “pop” whenever the throttle is closed- a reminder that this engine most certainly does “spit fire”!
An added bonus to this library is that it includes a number of authentic flypasts of the Merlin engine as heard in the classic aircraft of WWII proudly maintained by the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
All files are recorded 32bit, 192 kHz, with RØDE NTG1, Line Audio Omni1 and FEL Clippy XLR EM272 microphones, Sound Devices MixPre-6 II recorder. Library contains wav files of driving, interior and exterior foley, mechanical and electrical sounds. It is also available in UCS.
Variations
From a few modern trunks and metal tool cases, to 17th. century wooden traveling chests, latches and hinges, and dust and dirt debris falling and sliding off lids, this library will fit into most categories where something old and creepy needs to be opened or closed.
The library even include sounds of old rusty nails being removed from dry floor boards, and some tracks of hammering nails into wood too. Everything you might need (sound wise) to build a sound design around a vampire being trapped in a coffin, or being freed if you like.
As an extra bonus, library includes 13 tracks of designed coffin sounds, packed with extra punch and creak.
Not all boxes creak the same do they?
Looking for the different objects for this project made me realize that finding trunks and chests that have a nice sound to them, can be quite tricky. Some of the more then 200 years old traveling trunks recorded for this library did not have a very interesting sound to them, and some did not make a creak or very powerful open/closing sound. Fortunately I was lucky to find a bit of both.
I came across a local museum which had all sorts of categorized relics stored in chests and coffins, and was invited to go there record for a day. Many of the sounds included are the ones recorded her, where you literally could smell how much time has passed by.
Recordings were done with a wide variety of microphones, where the Neumann Kmr81I and Sanken CO100K were the favorites.
Storage rooms and basements
Other objects for the sound effects library were found in friends storage rooms and basements. These were kept under less strict conditions and much of the time had a more gritty and worn out sound to them.
We need more dirt debris
Finally I have recorded a bunch of tracks of dirt and dust sliding off different lids to add to those old coffin openings. We all know that a great amount of stuff will reside on top of a coffin after a while.

With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.

A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
We’ll definitely be back!
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.
