Atmospheric drones and ambiences – light and dark, beautiful and eerie, lively and serene
Cymbals From Hell Vol. 3 is an unnerving collection of the most disturbing, ominous sounds, brought to you as a sequel to one of our most popular horror libraries to date. Built from Tibetan bowls and various bell recordings, this collection of sound effects is destined to disturb and horrify you to the absolute fullest, bringing out every sense of fear and anguish that your audience has.
This horrifying library is made in association with Igor Tikhonov from KEDR Audio, who captured Tibetan bowls and various bells (performed with different types of beaters) using both Mid-Side and omnidirectional A/B microphone techniques to cover an extensive stereo-field and different textures. Our team of Audio Craftsmen carefully edited and designed them to make the most mysterious and disturbing sounds including harsh hits, low drones, distorted stingers, magical bells, dark – unsetting chimes, and even weird sci-fi drones.
All of the sounds are extensively meta-tagged and UCS compliant so that you can easily find the sound you need. All of the files are in 192kHz/24bit allowing for further sonic manipulation.
Monochrome is a premium sound library for composers, sound designers and experimentalists fusing a rough electronic aesthetic with film and trailer sound design for a unique set of modern sonic tools.

Prepare to plunge into the depths of fear with “Risers,” a meticulously crafted sound effects album designed to elevate the tension and dread in your projects. This comprehensive collection is divided into two chilling sections: powerful Risers and unsettling Stutter Glitch Risers.
Drawing inspiration from the darkest corners of horror, “Risers” is built upon a foundation of terrifying elements. Immerse your audience in the grating sounds of grinding gears, the piercing intensity of screams, and the bone-chilling echoes of horrific groans. We’ve woven in the unsettling buzz of anxious flies, the clanging resonance of iron chains, and a pervasive undercurrent of unsettling horror symphony to create a truly atmospheric experience.
This album boasts a rich tapestry of sound, incorporating both a multitude of acoustic instruments for organic texture and depth, alongside diverse synthesizer sounds for unique and unsettling sonic landscapes.

Delirium is a sound effects toolkit, lovingly prepared to accompany your unique and personal descent into madness. Bask in the radiance of wobbling washes of muffled screams, or perhaps some swaying, spiralling tones that make you feel dizzy and nauseous!
Designed primarily using Madrona Labs SUMU, Delirium is perfect for creating tension-filled atmospheres, hypnotic trances, dream sequences, hallucinations and generally unusual, other-worldly situations. Wavering drones that are writhing and moving, fragmented vocal splinters of what used to be human voices before they were dragged into the void, static bursts of interference from a long forgotten transmission that should never have been found… that sort of thing.
It does cover some areas that are more grounded in the real world (Comms Static, UI Glitches), but the majority of stuff in here is proudly un-tethered from reality.
The library is broken down into the following categories and sub categories as part of its comprehensive UCS metadata.
The sounds of Delirium will allow you to travel to weird, wonderful and sometimes unpleasant places with your sonic creations whilst maintaining subtlety and versatility. They are layers waiting to be interwoven, a bag of choice ingredients, a palette of strange colours. Go forth and paint!!!

I’ve lived in houses near busy roads. Cars driving by at all hours of the day…. Pass Bys… Vehicle Revs, Engine Rumbling, etc etc etc…..Ruining perfectly good recordings. But this time, it’s used to our advantage. All recordings are made during sound effect record sessions. Instead of removing unwanted car sounds, they are amplified, isolated, gained up, increased level.
All recordings range from 0-500Hz and can be used to create organic, real drone like sounds. Rumble, Tremble, Quake, Shake, Sci Fi, Pitch Bends, Rev, Resonates, Trembles and more. Use as a layer in a drone, vehicle, LFE/Subwoofer channel, and whatever else comes to mind. So buckle up and listen carefully, put on your best headphones or listen on your best speaker system.
Disclaimer: Be cautious, these sounds have extreme high volumes in the lower frequencies. Please take care, don’t listen too loudly.
Exterior Rumble Inside uses no special processing other than EQ, adjusting gain, and using iZotope Rx to assist in selecting frequencies to adjust.
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.
All are metadata tagged using the Universal Category System in Soundminer, and also searchable in Soundly, and Basehead.

Kaleidoscope is the first library of the project. It includes field recordings of various categories made in 2022-2023. All files are standardized according to the UCS system. The library features various atmospheric recordings immersing listeners into specific vivid and deep states.
Working on this library was very challenging personally for me. It took over a year to perfect it. It was difficult to remember where each recording was from and why I made it in the first place. Sometimes, photos from the locations helped, where I had to dig deep into my memory and listen to the recordings multiple times.
Kaleidoscope is a collection of disparate recordings united by one idea – to capture the here and now. From the clicks of waves resonating in the concrete confines of an abandoned duct to the atmosphere of an empty hotel room, from rain drumming on a metal canopy to sliding crystals in icy voids. The library is presented in two versions – stereo and spatial (5.0). Everything was recorded on the incredible Nevaton MS50 microphone in quad and DMS modes

This companion to the Bowed Cymbal series gives you more options for your stinger attacks. David took the old, slightly cracked crash cymbal, and literally cut into it with tin snips (picture below). He then took pliers, bent up some of the cut parts, and began experimenting with scraping various parts of the cymbal and adjusting the microphone position. The tonalities produced are almost nauseating! Deep rumbling lows, shimmery atonal highs, gut-wrenching mids – it’s a sound designer’s dream!

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.
