Home Animal Sound Effects Rodent Sound Effects
Real recordings of rodents such as mice, possums, chipmunks, guinea pigs, rats, porcupines and many more
This collection features 200 rodent and reptile sound effects. Included in this library are mice, bats, possums, chipmunks, guinea pigs, rats, porcupines, otters, raccoons, squirrels, snakes, toads, lizards, frogs and more!
These sounds have been hand-picked from the Sound Ideas General HD collections, Series 6000, Series 1000, Series 4000, Just Birds & Animals and Wild World of Animals libraries, as well as the Digiffects Library and the Hollywood Edge Animal Trax, The Edge 1 & 2 and Animal Planet libraries.
A comprehensive anthology of Guinea pigs’ vocalisations and other characteristic sound effects. Single pigs: male, female, little ones, duets, trios and in groups of up to 9. Full spectrum of emotions from lively chatter to aggressive fast teeth clicking (yes, they click teeth!) and synchronous hysterical whining and scared ear-piercing squeals. Recorded simultaneously in EXTREME CLOSE UP with Nevaton and Sanken CO-100K microphones for full coverage from deep bass to rich ultrasonic content (and a mix of these two microphones is also provided for your convenience), as well as general CLOSE UP with Nevaton for more natural perspective. Guinea pigs are very social and vocal, but the sounds they make are so unexpected and weird, that they can greatly work not only for rodents, but for extraterrestrials or robots. Lots of ultrasonic content makes a perfect basis for speed and pitch manipulations. 10% of the library’s revenue goes to nature preserves and wild animal shelters.
Humaninal Mimicry is a handy collection of human vocalizations mimicking the sound of animals.
These naturally-sounding samples are useful for shaping expressive creature sounds.
Tens of actors were involved in the process, but also one metal singer. Recorded up to 192KHz with Sanken Co-100k, or 96KHz. Included are more than 60 various animals (imitated) such as Eagle, Koala, Tiger, Whale, Seal, Crane, Gopher, Dolphin, Elephant, Lion, Crow, Goose, Camel, Bear, Horse, Frog, Platypus, Raccoon, Seagull, Honey Badger, Squirrel, Wolf, Monkey,…
The sounds delivered are well edited and meta-tagged. These are crisp, easy, and malleable sounds that will enrich your existing collection.
Alternatively, these sounds can also be used for cartoon or comical effects.
This library features a fine selection of Eurasian Mammals. The animals have been recorded both, in the wild and at animal care centres across Germany.
The most prominent and unique animal sounds in this library are probably squeaky juvenille garden dormice, grunting boar and sniffing hedgehog.
Also impressive recordings from deer rut are included and close up and very clean recordings from various bats, both flight calls and sounds during feeding.
There are plenty of rodents and other animals, check the list at the end of the text or the file list for an even more detailed overview.
Many of the recorded animals called in the ultra frequent range and have been recorded at 192kHz with microphones like the Earthworks QTC50, that go well beyond 90kHz. These noises are perfect for pitching and other sound design, I included some slowed down sounds as examples.
If you want to buy the library as a bundle with my libraries Eurasian Insects and Eurasian Birds, please contact me directly.
This collection is a great pool for realistic sound design as well as a source for editing monster, dragon and dinosaur sounds.
No animals have been harmed or scarred during the recording sessions.
Sound of the following animals are included:
Bechstein’s Bat, Boar, Common Pipstrelle, Common Vole, Daubenton’s Bat, Eurasian Hedgehog, Fallow Deer, Garden Dormouse, Mouflon, Nutria, Red Deer, Roe Deer, Shrew, Whiskered Bat, Wolf, Wood Mouse, and more…

“The Animal Symphony – Pigs” is a collection of 129 high-quality audio tracks, with a total of 674 individual sounds. The audios are organized with intuitive nomenclature, allowing you to easily switch between different microphones, giving you the flexibility to choose or combine the best recording options. For this collection, we used the Zoom F6 recorder with high-end microphones such as the Sennheiser MKH 8050, the Sanken CO-100K, and an EM258 capsule microphone. Additionally, a Zoom H6 recorder was used in parallel to capture stereo sound. The recordings were made at 24-bit and 192 kHz/96 kHz, ensuring exceptional clarity and depth.
This collection covers a wide range of pig sounds, including grunts, growls, squeals, and more. With multiple inputs and variations, this library offers the flexibility needed for any production requiring pig sounds. All recordings have been meticulously edited to eliminate external noises such as birds, wind or people. In addition, thanks to the ultrasonic microphones used, it is guaranteed that even when lowering the tone, the richness of the frequencies will be maintained.

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.
