Nature & Countryside Ambiences

Nature sound effects and recordings, from forests, jungles, plains and fields

  • Animal Sound Effects The Birds Play Track 78+ sounds included, 177 mins total $100

    The Birds includes selections from some of my previous libraries: Forests and Mountains, California Grassland Wildlife, Forest Day, and Harbor and Ocean

    I’ve gone through all of these libraries and selected what I consider some of my favorite recordings and that only include birds.  With this collection you get a wide variety of various birds in different environments, perspectives, times of the day, night.  Birds together, more specific and separate, close, distant.  The locations mostly include Southern California Foothills, Forests, and Mountains and Central California Grassland areas.  There’s also some recordings from Washington and Oregon. 

    There’s a few different species of Owls, a number of Ravens, various Sparrows, Woodpeckers, Doves, Finches and all sorts of other fun birds singing away.  Anyone looking for a bit more info should check out the library links up top to get a good idea.

    I’ve provided the species listings by each library.  The file names have been kept the same as they were in the original libraries so if anyone would like to compare metadata sheets to see what’s included it will be a bit easier.

    • 100 focused recordings of individual animals and groups

    • 22 natural ambiences captured in real working environments such as barns, stables, meadows, chicken coops, and open fields

    All recordings are carefully edited, organized by species, and fully UCS-compliant with detailed metadata, ready for direct use in Soundminer and professional workflows. The clear folder structure makes navigation simple and efficient.

    Many of these recordings also serve as a great foundation for creature sound design, thanks to their expressive textures and organic tonal qualities.

    Why This Library Exists

    Winter is more than gusts and blizzards. It is the stillness before snow falls, the tension of ice under stress, and the sudden call of a fox across a frozen field. European Winter brings you these overlooked details, recorded across Europe with Schoeps ORTF-3D for spatial realism, phase accuracy and mix-ready precision.

    Every snow sound effect here is a direct capture. Snow hitting rock, grass, ice or water with no studio trickery. Just microphones and patience.
    Rare Singing Ice & Moving Streams
    Includes ice sound effects like lakes groaning under cold stress, plus semi-frozen water shifting under fragile crust. Hard to find, harder to record.
    Winter Wildlife That Adds Tension
    From wolves to ravens, this library captures Europe’s winter wildlife in their natural element. These sounds cut through the quiet and heighten the drama in your scenes.
    Surround & Stereo Done Properly

    From a hotel balcony in Panormos, you can hear background air conditioning, sporadic cicadas, distant chatter, and very distant birds. At other times, constant but quiet cicadas, close voices, and people playing in the pool are audible. In the early morning, quiet cicadas, noisy swifts, and distant cockerels can be heard. Near the town church, you can hear distant wall and closer movement, along with light wood pigeons.

  • Thunder & Rain in the city: extracts from three thunderstorms in London, UK.

  • Bird Sound Effects The Sounds of Malaysia Vol.1 Play Track 15 sounds included, 27.00 mins total $10

    The Sounds of Malaysia Vol.1 is a mini collection of recordings taken during my travels in Kuala Lumpur and Penang, 2024.

  • Environments & Ambiences Rivers and Waterfalls Play Track 91 sounds included, 256 mins total $50

    This collection has over four hours of streams, rivers, and waterfalls, all recorded without birds or man-made noise. The 91 recordings offer a variety of perspectives, from close-up to distant, highlighting the natural gurgles and splashes. Everything was recorded in northern Norway, Belgium, and northern France.

    I created this collection primarily for myself, aware of the many Rivers and Streams libraries out there, but I couldn’t resist sharing it after enjoying the recording process so much. The sounds capture everything from the intense rush of water just above the roaring rapids to the gentle flow of rivers hundreds of meters away. In quiet natural environments, the sound of flowing water can be heard from very far and this really impacts the soundscape in a beautiful way. I also designed some waterfall samples, focusing on texture to avoid the typical pink noise. These additions sound powerful yet natural. There are also low-end recordings of a large waterfall, captured between rock formations, which deliver a deep roar with minimal high frequencies—perfect for enhancing water sounds.

    Many of the recordings were captured during a 30-day hiking trip through the northernmost parts of Norway. Crossing rivers without bridges was a significant part of the journey, and these sounds instantly take me back there, wet feet and all. I hope you’ll find them useful!

  • Sweeping my flashlight across the still water I see the red glow of multiple black caiman eyes, a haunting stillness. Suddenly a reverberating splash breaks the rhythmic chorus of frogs and crickets as a caiman finds its evening meal, the first of many tonight. Giving a greater sense of space to this Amazonian lake the eyes of the caiman go on glowing, waiting for an unsuspecting fish to pass their open mouths. 

    It is impossible to not be present in the rainforest. Surrounded by mysterious night vocalization, stinging, biting insects, and penetrating humidity. Gratitude fills me for the Cofan guides who have taken our small group of sound recordists deep into their wildest territory. Nearly a constant buzz fills the soundscape which takes a few days to adjust to, but as I do I start to notice the thrilling variety of calls. Near and distant, there is a spectacular spaciousness and an intimacy that can only come from this unique location.
