    About Room Tones and Interior Ambiences

    This SFX Pack has got what a busy sound designer needs in any given project and can easily become an indispensable toolkit. It gives you access to 3 hours of room tones and quiet or low activity ambiences, ranging from loud industrial spaces to quiet domestic rooms. These meticulously recorded sounds have clarity and lots of room for further usage and sound design with the flexible texture of the sounds for further customization.

    This is a fresh and unique pack that combines many themes in one collection. You will get a large and immersive selection of palaces, factories, warehouses, houses, apartments, car parks, gyms, swimming pools, libraries, supermarkets, cafeterias, offices, bars, theaters, schools and many more spaces and locations in 84 pristine sound files – in 24bit/96 KHz Wav format with detailed, easy to navigate naming. It is a thoroughly researched collection of high-resolution sound effects and loopable soundscapes, recorded with patience and sometimes in stealth and guerilla style – over a 3-month period.

    The recordings have just the right amount of noise floor. These are recordings at different times of the day, with varying or no activity levels, with high-medium-low-no ventilation and even ultra-silence.

  • This library is ideal for anyone looking for sounds of skiing, snowboarding or a ski resort, whether on the slopes, facilities or surrounding towns.  We have put together a diverse mix of sounds to make sure you have coverage of all the different elements you might need in a ski resort environment. 

    For the slopes you will find things like passing by skiers/boarders, sitting on lifts, lift rollers, and of course lots of detailed skiing and snowboarding both on-board and off-board, carving turns, hard stops, etc. (not all snow is the same so we have recorded in different consistencies of snow). For specific sounds there are snowmobiles, dog sleighs, and closeups of sounds of bindings, sticks, putting on gear, crunchings, amongst others. And for environments you will find things like lift station backgrounds, small ski town, mountain restaurants, and terraces. 

  • Bird Sound Effects Residential Seagulls Play Track 33+ sounds included, 82 mins total $38

    RESIDENTIAL SEAGULLS features 18 stereo tracks of seagulls in a residential area. All recordings have been taken from backyards where the city noise is very close to zero.

    Key Points:

    • Seagulls are the focus in all the recordings. Some tracks only contain seagulls, and some others also include sparrows, doves and magpies.
    • Recordings are mainly from sunrise and sunset, where seagulls tend to be more present. Recordings at night are also included though.
    • Seagulls vocalizations include classic seagull scream, some throaty and raspy calls, laughing sounds and mew calls or noises. From individual seagulls to bigger groups, including flocks.
    • Even though the focus of this library is to represent the soundscape of a residential area near the sea, with more or less distant calls, the collection also includes closer calls and screeches, which can be used for sound design purposes. Note: pitch shifted demo is not included in the library.
    • Recorded in M/S and ORTF, with ultrasonic content up to 50 kHz.
    • Human noise is absent. You won’t hear any traffic, cars or neighbors. All recordings with those noises have been discarded.
    • Named markers are included in each file to help find interesting events.
    • All recordings have been made in the south coast of England.
    • As usual, all files come in 24 bit and 96 kHz.
    • UCS Compatible Metadata embedded. Fields included CatID, Category, Subcategory, FX Name, Filename, Description, BWDescription, Library, RecType, Microphone, Designer, Manufacturer, Keywords.
    • Gear used: Zoom F8, Sound Devices Mix Pre 6-II, Sennheiser MKH 8040 in ORTF, Sennheiser MKH 8040 & Sennheiser MKH 30 in M/S, Sennheiser MKH 8050 & Sennheiser MKH 30 in M/S, Rycote ORTF Blimp, Rycote Cyclone MS.
    • Update Jun 2021: 15 new recordings have been added to this collection. Some of these new recordings may contain a bit of light traffic in the distance, just to give more options. In those cases, the metadata includes the corresponding information.
  • City Life Sound Effects Pedestrian Streets Play Track 50 sounds included, 127 mins total $45

    Pedestrian Streets is a library of 50 ambiences from around 15 different streets, recorded in about 7 cities mostly in Bulgaria.

    Most recordings are made in late autumn or winter because bird life is minimized. The task of this library is to capture much of the different dynamics of pedestrian streets: from zero activity to busy streets, basically concentrating on light activity periods.

    It’s principally recorded in the morning, and you’ll hear the sounds of single footsteps, light voices, shopping streets, dogs, air conditioners, and more of the sounds of a rising city.

    Another basic idea is the minimal presence of cars (as much as possible). There are also atmospheres with greater dynamism, lively streets and various periods of the day.

    All files are meta-tagged in Soundminer

    Gear used: Sound Devices 633, Edirol R4pro, Neumann KM184 st, Rode NT4, Zoom H4,

    Enjoy the City Life

  • High-quality nature ambience of wild landscapes in eastern Oregon – with a focus on bird sounds in the high desert across times of day and seasons. These are authentic western desert sounds appropriate for use in westerns, wild west, and related games and films.

    Many tracks are quite long – several minutes or longer. Species include woodpeckers, meadowlarks, woodpeckers, distant owls, and more. Includes bonus clips of fly buzzes and a few bats. A number catch birds quite close to the recorder.

  • Amusement Rides & Ambiences is a unique collection of hard to access amusement park sound effects. Package includes high-quality multichannel recordings captured with a full access to the amusement rides – and a total of 8 rides are included!

    Some recordings were made in an amusement park that was closed from the public. This enabled us to capture the sound effects as clean as possible without background music or people.

    Recordings of 8 amusement rides included:

    Convoy, Disk’O Coaster, Log Flume, Magic Bikes, Piggy Train, Pirate Ship, Supernova, Take Off.

    Ambience recordings are authentic amusement park ambiences with people and amusement rides.

All sounds were recorded in Särkänniemi amusement park, Tampere, Finland. Also available in the special Complete Amusement Park Sound Bundle.

  • Get ready to get active and listen to this pack of treadmill sound effects!

  • Environments & Ambiences Urban Housing 2 Play Track 23 sounds included, 68 mins total $75

    This is the second part of Urban Housing ambisonics series. Those atmospheres are the most helpful to create an immersive sensation of living in town. Mostly recorded in upper class hotel room from New York, Paris, Amsterdam and Bangkok. Sounds are deep and comfortable – and with an open window, it’s a totally different story.

    About Ambisonics:
    This is an Ambisonics sound effects library - and by using the free SoundField SurroundZone 2 plugin you can convert the B-format files into your preferred format (stereo, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 6.1, 7.0 or 7.1 surround). Note: The library also contains ready-made stereo mixdowns for your convenience.
  • Weather Sound Effects Wind Foliage & Vegetation Play Track 23+ sounds included, 90 mins total $50

    The Wind Foliage & Vegetation sound effects library are 23 files of wind passing and blowing through plants, trees, grass straws, and wheat fields, recorded in remote forests and fields in rural Sweden and Denmark.

    Common for all files are that they are focused around capturing the more close up sounds of the vegetation moving and interacting in the wind.

    Wind can be a tricky thing to capture with an audio recorder and a set of microphones. Sometimes there is just not enough wind to make the recording very exciting, sometimes, especially these days, takes are being ruined by distant traffic, planes passing by etc. Another problem with wind in foliage is that many times the constant rustle of leaves will make the recording sound like constant white noise.

    By placing the microphones on the actual grass and wheat straws, much of the white noise effect is removed, because of the sound of the actual straw is more present. The same result is present when a parabolic dish and microphone is used.

    These are the preferred methods used in all 23 files in this sound library.

  • Environments & Ambiences Pipes of Industry Play Track 199 sounds included, 130 mins total $65

    Recorded at an active power station, a physics laboratory, a three-story steam pump and various industrial complexes, these giant pipes produce unusual sounds as gasses and liquids are pushed through them at extremely high pressures. From classic metallic pads and strange harmonic textures, to squeaking, rattling, clanking, breathing and the juddering of machinery vibrating through them.

    Recorded at 96kHz/24bit with 2 contact mics going into a Sound Devices 788T, they provide a unique palette useful for both real, and other-worldly applications. From industrial vents and factories to sci-fi alien cargo ships.

    There is also a section of details/sweeteners to add spice and punctuation. All files are meta-tagged.

  • Thunderstorm, thunder strike and rain recorded in ambisonic. Recorded in urban and natural environment. Clean long recordings.

    Check the sound list for additional info.

    tech note:

  • Well, the name of this sound effects library speaks for itself.
    Of course, it’s a tragical but also action packed story of a bunch of heavy, shiny balls who went out to take vengeance upon a group of scraggy, scallywags and their leader Kingpin – for some reason. The plan was as simple as genius: rounding up, pin down and strike hard, that pale, red-scarfed scum in a blind alley. But there was one thing they hadn’t reckoned with: Regardless how brutal and how many times the enemies were struck to the ground, some kind of cursed, evil machinery re-arranged each and every one of them in rank and file.

    Long story short…
    You get a comprehensive and versatile collection of 10-Pin and 9-Pin (Skittles) Bowling Sound Effects. All recorded at “Bowling Arena“ in Stuttgart, Germany. Of course without any public business. Additionally you’ll get several close up recordings from behind the curtain of the machinery that re-racks the pins. Including seamless mechanical loops, full re-rack cycles from different perspectives and of course lots of bowling ball pass bys, pin hits and some gutterballs.

    Each sound was thoroughly edited and cleaned for direct use in any kind of audiovisual project.
    Clear naming and embedded BWF- and Soundminer Metadata grants clarity as well as fast and reliable search results.

  • This is a unique bicycle library that captures this characteristic bike in clean, quiet, nicely performed true exterior rides. Including multiple perspectives, speeds and actions. From fast passbys on asphalt to slow onboard recordings and smooth stops.

    The BadBike is a rattling and broken bicycle that perfectly nails the sound of a worn out bike, it’s passbys and hardstops are hard too miss.

    Speeds and actions:
    Three speeds. Departures from slow, medium to fast getaways. Arrivals from slow stops with gently squeaking handbrakes to heavy stuttering skids.

    Five perspectives:
    1. Onboard Front: captures the whirring tire and surface sound.
    2. Onboard Pedal: nice overall combination of pedaling, crank creaks, chain rattle, tire and surface sounds.
    3. Onboard Rear: close up sound of the rear axle, with chain, sprocket and switching of gear.
    4. Tracking shot: mono recording of the passby, keeping the bike in focus while passing by.
    5. Static XY shot: stereo recording of the passby that emphasizes speed.

    Overview of perspectives and mic placement:

    Onboard recordings are 2-3 minutes long depending on speed. Higher speeds > shorter duration.
    All 3 onboard mics are edited in sync with one another to make layering easy.
    All Passbys, Arrivals and Departures move from Left to Right.

    Metadata & Markers:

    FREE UPDATE to City Bicycles: now conforms to UCS with new metadata to quickly find your sounds.

    Because we know how important metadata is for your sound libraries we have created a consistent and intuitive description method that adheres to the Universal Category System. This allows you to find the sound you need easily, whether you work in a database like Soundminer/Basehead/PT Workspace work, or a Exporer/Finder window. We made a video that helps you navigate the library ans find your best bicycle sounds faster and easier.

    CategoryFull
    A quick way to filter out sounds you don’t need: like handling sounds or vice versa bicycle onboards.

    UserCategory
    Fastest way to find the type of action you need for all bicycles. Passby needed, just click and voila.

    OpenTier

    Once you’ve selected the bike you can open up OpenTier and audition and select the perspective you want to use.

    Scene &  Performer
    This field contains the type of bicycle or other sound. So you can find the bike you like fast.

    iXMLTrackLayout
    This is a neat little identifier you will find in the Waveform displays and you can see in a glance what Listening position you are.

    MicPerspective

    We have another way to find perspectives but it is more limited to distance to the recorded subject.
    So passbys are MED – EXT and handling are CU – EXT. Exterior? Of course: we recorded everything outside!

    UserComments
    We used this field to create the UserData and give you the minimal set of information about the recording in the filename.

    Additionally, we added Markers to some wave files, so specific sound events are easy to spot in Soundminer and other apps.
