Blending physical movements and vocal efforts, this library contains realistic and intense struggling, tussling, and scuffling sounds performed by a solo female voice actor.
Dial It_Pack 05 includes recordings using a Vintage Candlestick Rotary Phone. This pack includes recordings of pick up, hang ups, slams, turning dial, knocking, shaking, and more! Dialing includes various speeds, friction and stress, and potential resonances as these recordings encase the entire extended spectrum at various dynamic ranges. Also included are various performances to capture as many new sounds as possible- whether they sound good, or interesting…(bad-ish).
2648+ sounds over two microphone setups, or 1302+ sounds with 1 microphone set up; all packed in 194 sound files
These sound files were recorded at 32bit, 192kHz using the Sennheiser MKH8050, Sennheiser MKH30 and Sanken CO-100K microphones into a Sound Devices Mix Pre-10ii.

‘Articulated Sounds’ presents ‘Quiet Rooms’, a curated collection featuring 150 ambiences and 20 specific sounds. This library focuses on interior background ambiences, with all-new, unique recordings from over 20 countries.
The collection offers a diverse range of room tones and subtle background noises, captured at various times and in a wide variety of settings. It spans residential spaces, industrial factories, public areas, offices, and rooms of all sizes, even extending to caves and specially crafted soundscapes. You’ll also find interior recordings of rain, wind, and other invaluable elements.
Whether you’re designing a quiet environment or adding texture to an intricate scene, ‘Quiet Rooms’ provides a solid foundation for interior backgrounds.
Bedroom, Study Space, Factory, Prison, Atrium, Abandoned House, Museum, Cafe, Bathroom, Kitchen, Machine Room, Temple, Cathedral, Living Room, Hospital, Bungalow, Mountain Cabin, Restaurant, Home, Courtyard, Hallway, Old House, Submarine, Warehouse, Hostel, Mill, Office, Lounge, Metro, Staircase, Library, Hall, Conference Center, Basement, Hotel, Studio, Cave, Attic, Underground, Interior, Vehicle, Train, Bus, Airplane
We collected these interior recordings over the years, capturing the unique atmospheres of rooms and places during our travels. Our equipment varied across sessions, adapting to the setting—whether in bustling cities, quiet small towns, remote countryside, the Himalayas, the Amazon, or distant islands. Our goal was to document the essence of each space, preserving the aural footprint of every location we visited.
Some recordings feature little more than stillness, while others include traces of local wildlife heard through windows or thin walls. You may also detect ambient noises like heaters, distant hums, machinery, traffic, or neighbors, resonating differently depending on the surrounding architecture.
We meticulously selected the best recordings, refining them to remove sections with excessive variation. Each sound was carefully edited to maintain a level of noise within the ‘subtlety’ range, ensuring they work seamlessly as background atmospheres that smooth out the sonic environment of any scene.
We are proud to present this collection, featuring some of the finest indoor silences we’ve ever captured—rich with delicate, everyday sounds at the edge of human perception. These recordings will help you effortlessly recreate beautiful, immersive spaces with natural charm.
Bowling features a wide variety of high-quality stereo sounds from the sport of 10-pin bowling, captured from multiple micing perspectives at three different bowling alleys across the United States.
I visited a 40-lane, a 24-lane and an 8-lane alley, all at different times of day and night to capture sounds during league practice (with no music) and sounds with no one in the house besides myself and the manager. I was given fantastic access, allowing me to record from various perspectives. These include from above, behind and beside the mechanical pinsetter machines and next to the pin deck at the far end of the lanes. I also set my mics down next to the foul line, the ball return behind the approach, behind the settee area (where bowlers sit), the concourse area (where bowlers find the snack machines and bar) and halfway down the service aisle beside the first lane. I followed a robot-like lane machine as it traveled back and forth along the lanes, laying down oil at just the right spots. It works a lot like an inkjet printer putting words onto a page.
​​I was permitted to turn pinsetter machines off and on at the back of the house, which was pretty fun. Each one has a switch in the back. Who knew? This allowed me to record just one machine in isolation, or several working at once. I rolled (delivered is the term used by the United States Bowling Congress) a few frames down an alley with no machines running. Machine noise can mask the woosh of a ball passing by. Rolling with the machines turned off allowed me to get this delicate sound like I wanted.
So get yourself an oat soda and a limitless bowl of pretzels. Slip on a pair of two-toned suede bowling shoes, you know, those kind with their size stamped on the heel for all to see, and enjoy Bowling.

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.
