Animal Sound Effects Maldivian Crickets Play Track 13+ sounds included $45

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.

City Life Sound Effects Sri Lanka Ambiances 1 Play Track 62 sounds included, 171 mins total $61

Sri Lanka Ambiances 1 is 171 minutes/5.51 Gb of lively ambiances recorded in Sri Lanka in July 2017.
62 separate files – recorded in 24bit/96kHz using Primo EM172 microphones in a spaced A-B setup. All sounds are UCS-compatible.

This collection features a variety of locations in and around the small tourist town of Unawatuna, on the southern-most end of the island. The area is mix of small boutique hotels and private guest-houses, low-rise residential housing and small shops. Traffic is dominated by old busses and trucks, as well as mopeds and Tuk-tuks (basically a three-wheeled motorized rickshaw).

Animals heard include different birds, monkeys, dogs and squirrels during the day; and cicadas and frogs at night.

Most locations are covered with different angles/takes, to provide enough variation of the material to build a scene around. Included are several drive-bys of various vehicles.

City Life Sound Effects Sri Lanka Ambiances II Play Track 32 sounds included, 133 mins total $47

Sri Lanka Ambiances II is 133 minutes/4.40 Gb of ambiance recordings from Sri Lanka.
32 separate files – recorded in 24bit/96kHz A-B stereo. All sounds are UCS-compatible.

Sri Lanka Ambiances II was recorded in 2017 on the same trip that resulted in Sri Lanka Ambiances 1. This collection takes us inland, to the mountain town of Ella, and the larger city of Kandy.

Ella has some distinctive sounds; not least the train snaking it’s way slowly through the mountains, it’s whistle reverberating between them. I also recorded distant distant loudspeaker “chants” or recitals, which, as far as I could gather, was a part of the Poya-days – a Sri Lankan full moon holiday.

Another personal highlight is the recording of an office clerk working an old-school mechanical typewriter behind the blinds of a small office in Kandy.

All in all, here are plenty of general Sri Lankan ambiances featuring traffic, barking dogs, tweeting birds and buzzing insects, as well as bits and pieces of walla.

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!

Charles Deenen

Director, Digital - Source Sound Inc.

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!
