Insect Sound Effects

Sounds of many species of insects and bugs from all over the world – including close-up insect sound effects as well as sounds of swarms, buzzing and crawling.

  •
    Animal Sound Effects Eurasian Insects Play Track 500+ sounds included $92

    This library focuses on isolated recordings of single insects, mainly from Northern Europe. While all insects have been recorded in the wild in Northern Europe, most also appear in all of Europe, Asia, North Africa and some have been introduced to America and Australia too.

    For this library I recorded various species of wild bees, wasps, bugs, cicades, grasshoppers, flys, dragonflies, butterflies, ants, sandfleas and underwater bugs. A detailed list of all species is at the end.

    You will find flybys, wing buzzes, hums, rattles, little feet, stridulations, jumps and even bites.

    Over the course of years I improved my recording of these little animals by approaching them with a set of different micing techniques, always looking for the best spots to record these small creatures, making sure not to disturb them.

    Many recordings were performed with microphones and recorders that go up to 192kHz to capture the ultra frequencies emitted by some individuals. Some grasshoppers you won’t even hear unless you pitch them down or play them slower.

    While I find their crispy, clear and often bassy sounds lovely, some of the noises of the animals can be decribed as annoying, scary, sharp or intensive.

    But besides for the original recorded species, these noises can be used to create swarms or all kind of insects or little creatures, like elves, aliens and fairies.

    In addition to the close up recordings, I added a few swarms, real and designed, a couple of ambiences and a few designed insect sounds.

    Some of the 60+ species (for details check file list):

    Apex Furrowed Bee, Big Fly, Black Tailed Skimmer, Blow Fly, Blue Winged Grasshopper, Bow Winged Grasshopper, Buff Tailed Bumblebee,  Butterflies, Purple Emperor, Honey Bee, Mosquito, Wild Bees, Carder Bee, Chelostoma Rapunzuli, Chrysogaster Solstitialis, Cloromia Formosa, Common Field Cricket, Common Green Bottle Fly, Common Wasp, Conocephalus Fuscus, Dragonfly, Drone Fly, Early Bumblebee, Eristalis Pertinax,  Eupeodes Luniger, European Orchard Bee, European Wasp, European Wool Carder Bee, False Stable Fly, Field Grasshopper, Flesh Fly, Fly of the Dead, Flying Ant, Gnat, Great Green Bush Cricket, Green Blowfly, Green Rose Chafer, Grey Backed Mining Bee, Gypsy Cuckoo Bee, Hairy Footed Flower Bee, Helophilus Trivittatus, Hornet Hoverfly, House Fly, Italian Tree Cricket, Jigger Flea, Large Bee Fly, March Crane Fly, Meadow Grasshopper,  Myathropa Florea, Painted Lady, Pale-saddled Leucozona, Red Tailed Bumblebee, Red Wood Ant, Sand Bee, Sand Wasp, Sawfly Macrophia Montana, Sceliphron Curvatum, Tritomegas Bicolor, Underwater Insects, White Tailed Bumblebee, Wood Cricket,…

  • Environments & Ambiences Northern Italy Play Track 22 sounds included, 90 mins total $29

    Northern Italy is 90 minutes/2.9 Gb of ambiance recordings of rural Northern Italy. 22 separate files – recorded in 24bit/96kHz A-B stereo. All sounds are UCS-compatible.

    Northern Italy was recorded in July 2019 (pre-Covid), and features ambiance recordings from just outside the small village of Entratico, near Bergamo, Italy. This is hill-country, with meandering gravel-roads, small farms, sheep-bells and lots of crickets. In fact, in this terrain, insects seem to be the only sound sources which are always near. Everything else, from dogs and roosters, to church-bells and airplanes, seems always to be distant. Lots of laid-back rural atmosphere here.

    Crickets are quite a dominant feature in these recordings, and there are several variations recorded both day & night. Some are quite loud (the ones with “LOUD” in the file names), so be careful with playback.

    71 quad surround ambiences of virgin nature around lakes and brooks bring you to the hot summer at the national park in Karelia, North-Western Russia. Carrying you away into the land of Mother Nature, untouched with technogenic and anthropogenic sounds. Busy morning of birds and insect in a marsh, streams in forests and a beaver’s dam, a rapid roaring river in a canyon. Mystically whispering and aggressively chattering winds through reed. A swallow feeding their nestlings in front of the microphone. Still evening over lakes with echoing voices of an Eurasian Hobby falcon, Arctic Loon calls and splashy takeoff runs. Otherworldly silent night with Longhorn beetle larvae creaking communications in the trees at the shore, a bat at 30 kHz and a large beetle cruising around the mic like a helicopter with rumble down to infrasound.

    10 % of the library’s revenue goes to nature preserves and animal shelters.

  • Animal Sound Effects Sound Themes – Wings In Motion 01 Play Track 2539 sounds included, 152 mins total $99

    Designing wing sounds for flying creatures can sometimes be a challenge. And when it comes to creature sounds, it’s all about options. A small bird like a wren sounds very different than an adult gray goose. To find the right texture, and distinguish between wide and narrow wings, or to accomplish the task of designing bat or dragon wings, I created this library.

    This library contains over 11GB of data consisting of 341 files and 2539 sound effects. Besides the typical fabric wing flaps, I used all sorts of props sorted by materials like rubber, neoprene, plastic, paper, etc. This opens the door to new creative sound design options to make your flying creature sound exactly how you want it to. I added all sorts of buzzing, clicking and rustling sounds especially for the flying insects.

  • Bird Sound Effects Forest Life Play Track 104+ sounds included, 253 mins total $95

    FOREST LIFE is a diverse collection of 104 isolated Forest Ambiences and Wildlife Sounds. It includes all of the sounds from the FOREST DAY and the FOREST NIGHT Sound Libraries, along with the Rivers and Lakes featured in the OCEANS RIVERS LAKES library. In addition, I’ve included the free mini library FOOTHILLS.

    FOREST LIFE came out of a love for hiking and exploring Mountains and Forests and capturing the wonderful soundscapes of that world. Most of these recordings took place in California, in particular, a number of areas throughout the Angeles Forest. You’ll also come across sounds from high atop the Eastern Sierras, San Jacinto Wilderness, Los Padres Forest, and the Olympic Peninsula in Washington.

    A variety of different bird species are included, at lower elevation settings, higher Mountains, throughout the day and night, some in isolation, others sometimes alongside wind and when at night, insects.

    Also included are isolated Mountain winds in different variations and with vegetation and tree creaks. There’s Cicadas along with different sounding Crickets throughout various times of the night and day.

    In the water collection there’s everything from slow trickle creeks coming out of Abandoned Mines to the fast flow of the Hoh River to gentle lake laps high atop the glaciers of the Inyo Forest.

    The FOOTHILLS bonus library includes 9 files of Winds and Birds, and a few of the wonderful sounds of an Abandoned Ranch.

    Detailed metadata and markers have been provided so they’re easily searchable. Photos are embedded in every file to give an idea of what the location was like. Checking out the Metadata Sheet will give one a better idea of everything else that’s in the library.

  • Animal Sound Effects Collections Periodical Cicadas Play Track 10+ sounds included, 43 mins total $30

    Periodical Cicadas features the sounds of millions of periodical cicadas singing en masse. There are extended drones and screeches, up-close wing-fluttering pass-bys and multiple pharaoh, or mating calls. Two broods, XXII and V, were recorded in 2014 and 2016 respectively.

    Hear cicadas fluttering inches away from the microphones. I climbed an 80-foot tall fire tower to be where the cicadas sang their loudest. I also positioned microphones atop wide vistas and open fields adjacent to woods to capture the cicada’s near-deafening drones.

    Except for cicadas fluttering back and forth directly overhead, landing on me, and having to keep calm, quiet and still while recording, I thoroughly enjoyed making this library. It’s a small library packing a big sound. I can’t wait for the next brood to emerge in southeast Ohio next year. I hope you enjoy using this cicada-mania wall of sound for your next project.

    Psychedelic Cicadas Vol. 1 is the first instalment of our cicada ambiences produced in collaboration with Cesar Rodriguez Pulido and Guile Martins.

    A huge variety of cicadas were recorded in the Brazilian Savannah – a biome located in the heart of Cerrado, Brazil. Each species has its own tone, pitch and rhythm, and together they form hypnotic polyphonic choirs. Their songs were captured in a multitude of natural acoustic spaces and are accompanied by other local fauna, including parrots, crickets, frogs and dogs.

    These rare recordings are perfect for designing natural, omnipresent atmospheres or crafting more abstract, unusual sounds.

    Recording by César Rodriguez Pulido and Guile Martins.

  • Bird Sound Effects Residential Forest I + II + III Play Track 121 sounds included, 760 mins total $99

    Garden and nature in January, April, and August: the fresh spring air filled with a morning concert of birds, crickets and summer ambiences, echoing neighborhood chatter, gardening sounds, dogs barking, roosters crowing, jets and propeller planes passing overhead, as well as the profound silence and eerie presence of nocturnal animals in the depths of the night; the awakening of nature and residents in the early morning hours, and much more.

    ‘Residential Forest I + II + III’ combines all three libraries of long-term recordings from a German allotment environment into one. This remote area, surrounded by forest, features cottages, ponds, and an abundance of natural sounds. The library provides a rich blend of suburban, residential, and forest ambiences.

    ‘Residential Forest I + II + III’ includes 121 unique ambiences recorded in Germany during summer (August 2021), spring (April 2022), and winter (January 2023). From these 64 hours of recordings, I have carefully selected and edited the finest moments, creating a 13 GB soundscape that takes listeners on a journey from afternoon to evening, through the night, and into the morning and midday hours in this residential forest setting.

    To capture the profound silence of the night, I used a matched pair of Rode NT1-A microphones with exceptionally low self-noise, paired with a Tascam HD-P1 recorder.

    The total duration of the library is approximately 13 hours, with most ambiences ranging from 5 to 10 minutes in length. Some are longer, while a few are shorter.

    ‘Residential Forest I + II + III’ was recorded in AB stereophony at 48 kHz, 24-bit.

For these sounds an additional microphone was employed, specifically the CMPA by Avisoft-Bioacoustics which records up to 200 KHz. This microphone was actually used to record most of the library but the 384KHz format was preserved only where energy was found beyond 96KHz not to occupy unnecessary disk space.
    All files are delivered as stereo bounce of these for mics, though in some instances an additional couple of CO100K was added to the sides.
    The resulting ultrasonic spectrum is rich and allows for truly extreme manipulation of the content.

    Bonus: Two extra libraries included for free:
     This library also includes two additional releases from Mattia Cellotto - for free: Crunch Mode delivers 230 crunchy sounds made with a variety of vegetables, fresh bread, pizza crust and a selection of frozen goods. The Borax Experiment gets you 158 squishy, gory, slimy and gooey sounds.
