Sounds of Nature: Island Ambiences – Azores, North Atlantic library, is an inspiring collection of high-quality natural soundscapes from one of the most pristine and biodiverse regions of the North Atlantic. It features the unmistakable calls of Cory’s Shearwaters, especially their iconic cackling during the breeding season.
Immerse yourself in the unspoiled beauty of the Azores with recordings that capture the essence of its diverse habitats: tranquil mountain peaks, serene lakes, rugged coastal cliffs, and lush coastal forests. Each environment is alive with a symphony of sounds, featuring a rich variety of bird species and the harmonious croaks of Iberian Water Frogs (Perez’s Frog).
This library is a celebration of the natural world, bringing the raw, untouched beauty of the Azores to life through sound. Rather than crashing ocean waves, you’ll mostly hear the natural sounds of the inland areas. Perfect for nature lovers, sound designers, game developers and anyone seeking authentic, atmospheric audio from the heart of the unspoiled North Atlantic.
All recordings are clear and entirely devoid of external noise and human disruptions. Therefore, this library is particularly valuable for productions set in the past, such as medieval and ancient times as well as for historical and nature documentaries.
All these nature ambiences are recorded using multiple microphone setups: a Double MS Stereo setup and a spaced omni mic setup, the latter also providing extended frequency response. This results in four variations for each recording: Stereo, Wide Stereo, Wide AB Stereo, and 5-channel 5.0 surround. The variances between these options range from subtle to more pronounced, offering flexibility for crosscutting within scenes.

This library features ambiences recorded in China’s Sichuan Mountains, captured primarily from dusk to dawn using drop rig recording equipment. While I aimed to exclude all human-made sounds in this collection, one of my favorite recordings has the sound of distant Buddhist prayer bells chiming as birds begin their morning chorus. A couple of files contain minimal human presence, but the vast majority are purely natural soundscapes. Finding locations free from human activity in China is difficult, making these recordings especially valuable.
The recordings are enriched with UCS naming conventions and detailed metadata, including identifications of many sub-tropical bird species identified using Chirpity and Merlin Bird ID. Some species you can expect to hear include Cuckoo Birds, Great Barbets, Koels, Nightjars, Thrushes, and Roosters.
Listeners can experience low-noise natural ambiences featuring dawn bird choruses, frogs and crickets at night, bat activity, water sources, and rainfall recordings.
*Note: All sounds in this library are included in the Soundscapes of Modern China (SSMC) collection.

Sri Lanka Soundscapes Vol.2 – Countryside is the second volume in the Sri Lanka Soundscape Library Series.
This library features typical sounds recorded in the rice paddy’s and farms and beaches of Southern Sri Lanka. It features, ambiences containing local animals and birds (did someone say Peacock), insects, remote villages, Ocean waves all in quiet secluded environments. The library serves as a great palette of local and unique sounds within quiet countryside environments to really ground and localise any projects. Contains a mix of ambience recordings and some shorter animal specific SFX.
A particular highlight for me on this collection was capturing the sound of a duck farting as it plodded away (see movement and fart file at 00:07)- cutting edge stuff.
Sounds recorded in Stereo 24bit/48kHz and UCS compatible.
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.
Gabriel Guy
Re-recording Mixer, Walt Disney Animation Studios: Frozen, Big Hero 6
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.
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!
David Farmer
Sound designer: Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies
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!
Zdravko Djordjevic
founder of The Audio Spotlight
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.
