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.

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.
Our Audio Craftsmen have carefully edited each sound for maximum sonic clarity so that you can drop each sound directly into your project timeline and get down to work with minimal fuss.
All sounds are delivered in 24Bit 48kHz format allowing further sonic manipulation and have been meticulously edited and tagged with extensive UCS compliant metadata for ease of use.
The Audio Hero Herbivorous Mammals collection features 162 professionally recorded sound effects, ready for use in your productions. Included in this library are Pandas, Beavers, Camels, Cows, Donkeys, Elephants, Llamas and more! These sounds are all hand-picked from the Hollywood Edge Animal Trax library.
Invigorate your animal and creature designs with the sprightly sounds of Wildlife Collection: Capuchin Monkeys. Featuring 81 exotic monkey sound effects, this library delivers a wide variety of vivacious chirps, screeches, chitters and grunts to design your wild creatures, fill out jungle scenes, and more.
These colorful capuchin monkey vocalizations were captured by recordist and sound designer Chris Diebold (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Transformers: The Last Knight) with multiple microphones, including the Sanken CO-100K, which captures and maintains up to 100kHz (rather than 20kHz from other microphones). Delivered at the high sample rate of 192kHz, these authentic, high-quality monkey recordings are ripe for pitch processing and control over your creative sound design.
In addition to the raw recordings, this collection also contains pre-designed and “hyped” sounds ready to drag-and-drop directly into your projects. Each sound file is embedded with rich, descriptive metadata for fast, intuitive search results to help increase efficiency and sustain creativity.
Introducing Vintage Combine, featuring high-quality stereo sounds of a fully operational 1970s-era John Deere 4400 combine harvester. For this library, I found a willing farmer in his late 70s harvesting a small corn crop at his family farm in northeast Ohio. His combine was set up with a four-row corn head. It looks like a set of hair clippers, only much bigger.
I made the recordings on a beautiful October afternoon, placing a Sony PCM D100 inside the combine’s cab to capture sounds like door slams, idling and harvesting. The farmer was a real trooper and refrained from making noise during the recording.
Several exterior sounds include a pass-by, idling and throttling at different RPMs. Plus, there is an exterior onboard recording of the machine harvesting the field, traveling slowly up and down rows of tall, dried-out field corn. I used a boom pole to suspend a pair of Line Audio CM3 microphones in ORTF over the moving harvester head. From this perspective, listening to corn stalks being chewed up and spit out into the combine’s grain tank makes for a fun recording. Seamless loops of certain sounds are included as well.
For your next farm feature, consider using Vintage Combine.

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.

Urban Crows is a library full of interesting sounds of single crows and swarms.
These proud birds deserve a lot more attention than they usually get. They are amazingly intelligent, social and by no means aggressive or monotonous when it comes to their communication capabilities.
The library evolved throughout winter 2015/16 and was taken from the attic of a house surrounded by trees were the crows frequently stayed overnight. So it was a great pleasure to record them arriving in the evenings as well as hearing them chatting during the dawn. They have a huge arsenal of clearly distinguishable single caws, funny sighs or nervous screams that often evolved to a huge cluster of noises that became stronger when the church bells began to ring and the sun came up.
All takes are recorded in Mid-Side stereo, with Sennheiser MKH-70 shotgun for a strong mid-signal and AKG-C394B for the ambience. The total playing time of the library is approx. 1h 30min.

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.
