Introducing the Sounds of Idaho. Sounds featured in the library include: Greater Sage Grouse on their lek during mating season; the roar of Idaho and Shoshone Falls during high water events; the flowing Snake, Payette and Boise Rivers captured from varying distances; the sound of wind scraping across the tallest single-structured sand dunes in the U.S., captured with a spaced pair of hydrophones below the surface; a wetland marsh jam-packed with birdsong; dry yellow quaking aspen tree leaves swaying in the breeze on a beautiful fall day; and finally, thousands upon thousands of clamoring migratory Snow Geese on a stopover. Quite possibly the noisiest of all waterfowl, they take flight in unison in front of my microphones.

These 20 long immersive soundscapes offer rare access to approximately 1,5 hours of authentic birdsong ambiences that are increasingly hard to find—or record.

Find the true sound of nature’s richest birdsong.
A compact and intimate feline sound library recorded in pristine detail.
Cat Close-Up captures the subtle, healing sounds of a domestic cat at very close range — focusing mainly on purring, but also containing drinking and licking.
This modest collection was recorded using a Nevaton MC59 cardioid microphone paired with a Sound Devices MixPre-II recorder, allowing for exceptional detail, depth, and warmth. The proximity effect of the MC59 cardioid microphone brings out the rich low frequencies of the purr, giving it a tactile and soothing presence. Every sound is designed to feel close, soft, and real, even if the sounds are mono. The mono format creates an immersive, grounded feel — ideal for projects that benefit from a direct, unembellished sound rather than broad stereo space.
Though compact in size, the library was crafted with care to extract the most emotionally resonant tones from these everyday moments of feline life.
Includes:
Continuous and broken purring (deep, soft, rhythmic)
Licking sounds (grooming fur, tongue on fur)
Drinking (lapping water, natural variations)
Tech Specs:
Recorded with Nevaton MC59 cardioid mic + Sound Devices MixPre3-II

Crickets. A lot of crickets. It was quite a deafening experience recording this.
I’ve captured increments with a handheld ORTF pair of Sennheiser 8040s on a boom pole pointing at the loudest sound source and then switched to 2 DPA 4060s that recorded throughout the night. This offered a bit of variation in the intensity of sound and quantity of crickets performing for you that night. You can hear occasional tropical birds towards the morning.
The library offers around 6 hours of audio and I’ve also cut below 1.7 kHz & 4 kHz to offer a bit more isolation for crickets. This is done on separate takes as an option.
Bird Whistles Vol. 3 explores the special mix of sounds produced by Acme’s quality bird call tools. Featuring crow, cuckoo, duck, curlew and owl performances, this library offers an expressive range of vocalisations, calls, birdsongs, glissandos, hoots, caws, trills and even yawns!
These sounds are ideal for cartoons, animated or humorous productions requiring energy and character. Or, calls can be used in more realistic sonic settings and adding a touch of nature to backgrounds. The sounds also lend themselves to further processing, yielding effective, whacky designs.
All sounds are delivered in 24Bit 192kHz format allowing further sonic manipulation, and have been meticulously edited and tagged with extensive UCS compliant metadata for ease of use.

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.
