The Geophonic Instruments Bundle comprises three libraries of low, moody tones produced by the unusual interaction between musical instruments and the Lom Geofón.
This unique process enabled the capture of each instrument’s super low frequencies – going all the way down to 10 Hz. Our Audio Craftsmen then designed these recordings to accentuate the rich, low resonances of each sound, resulting in an idiosyncratic, tonal quality.
Inside this bundle is a creative assortment of low frequency instrument noises, including hits, rumbles, scrapes, blowings, taps, booms, bowings and other abstract sounds – all with a foundational musical element.
Because of its intense low frequency energy, the Geophonic Instrument Bundle is perfect for sci-fi, horror and mystery projects. It will also lend itself well to Film, TV and Game productions across a variety of genres. Add a dark, timbral edge to your projects with these unique sounds!
All sounds included were carefully captured and meticulously edited for maximum sonic quality, enabling you to drop each sample into your projects with no need for further enhancement or modification.
The entire bundle is delivered at 24Bit/192kHz, and tagged with extensive Metadata.
People & Crowds Vol. 1 brings you all the hubbub, hustle and bustle that comes with big cities during main events.

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.
