This sound library was recorded in Moscow’s downtown on 13 locations at different times of the year. 27 samples include the sounds of passers-by, steps and random conversations against the background of distant traffic, singing birds and other casual sounds.
It can be useful for audio post-production when working with movies, trailers or commercials in which it is necessary to convey the routine life atmosphere of Russian cities. All files are carefully selected and prepared. Metadata included in the archive – and the library is available in both a stereo and a surround version.
The Australian bush is something very close to my heart. Most of these recordings were taken on my family's property in Molong NSW.
This collection includes a large number of natural bush ambiences recorded at all times of day. There are plenty of birds, some sheep, turkeys, bees, cicadas, crickets, dogs and chickens. As well as motor vehicles on gravel, chainsaws, campfires, generators, footsteps, and even a wall construction. There is as always some random stuff fin there as well.
Recorded with a Sound Devices 633 and Sennheiser MKH8040s. The library is 2GB and includes 126 x 24bit 48kHz .wav files. Sound Miner metadata embedded.
Often majestic, big interior spaces are beautiful sets. We created this collection to help you bring some life into them. To take full advantage of those sets, there’s nothing quite like Ambisonic and its faithful sound reproduction of its acoustics in 3D.
RAIN IN THE CITY features 41 HD 24bit/96khz Sound Effects with a large assortment of rains, drippings, gutters, traffic, streams and other water movements. Recorded during Los Angeles's heavy El Nino Weather storms in 2015. All new and original recordings.

THE ULTIMATE WATER SOUND RESOURCE
Discover the versatile world of aquatic audio with WATER IN MOTION, a sound library designed to provide sound designers and game audio professionals with an extensive array of water sounds. This library equips you with the tools to create your very own sound effects and design water foley scenes right out of the box.
Putting sound quality and versatility at the forefront we captured every detail of the water sounds with highest precision. The result is a collection of extremely clean sounding water recordings that let you shape the sonic character to your specific needs! Every sound was recorded with a mono center microphone (MKH 8050 or Sanken co-100k) and a matched stereo pair of MKH 8040s by Sennheiser (note: only the nature-sounds and the designed tools have no mono file).
DIVE INTO THE WORLD OF WATER SOUND DESIGN
The library is split into two main sections: RECORDINGS and DESIGNED TOOLS. The RECORDING folder has every water sound you need ranging from simple bubbles to roaring waterfalls, rain, ocean waves, tons of everyday sounds, experimental water recordings, various movements and tiny to huge splashes. The DESIGNED TOOLS section comes with a vast array of pre-designed water sounds from big splashes, liquid whooshes, magic spell elements and morphing sounds to underwater ambiences and short textures.

Famous for its gourmet food, fine wines, stunning architecture, famous monuments and fashion, Paris is an incredibly beautiful European city which attracts visitors from all over the world, be it for a romantic getaway or a cultural break. We wandered around this vast city recording a huge collection of varied ambiences to bring you an audio snapshot of the bustling French city and its unique soundscapes.
Travel with us from the banks of the River Seine, high up the Eiffel tower and on to the affluent neighbourhood of Passy before heading to the cobbled streets of Montmartre through to Pigalle and the Moulin Rouge.
Along the way we captured busy city centre streets brimming with both locals and tourists, heavy traffic featuring lots of bicycles and motorbikes, both favourite modes of transport for Parisians, quiet back streets, urban parks and restaurants full of diners. We also made sure to record transport hubs like Charles de Gaulle Airport, train stations and the Paris Metro to ensure you have everything you need for projects requiring sounds of the French capital.
Featuring:
All sounds were recorded using the Schoeps CCM8/CCM4 mid-side microphone and Sound Devices Mix-Pre 6.
Mid-Side recordings are presented in their raw, uncoded format as well as decoded stereo files for efficient editing. Recordings have been processed using the Control V2 plugin by Brainworx.

Geophonic Design Bundle is a diverse collection of unique and abstract designed sounds with infrasonic frequencies which go as low as 10Hz. The bundle includes three libraries with a total runtime of 217+ mins (7.01 GB) that have strong sci-fi & horror vibes perfect for your films, video games, documentaries and other projects that require a mysterious and ominous soundscape.
Our Audio Craftsmen used a ‘Geophone’ which is a seismic measurement device used to record seismic waves and vibrations of the earth, to record low heavy vibrations and rumbles of various surfaces and materials, hits and interactions of wood, metal, trees, soil, clay and other natural ingredients. We have also captured sounds from window glass, busy roads with vehicle pass bys, metal posts and rails with impacts, water passing through pipes, metal containers, plastic buckets and much, much more.
All of the included sounds were then precisely edited and designed by our dedicated in house team to build ambiences such as: outer space, underground bunkers, submarines, weather stations, underground sewers, a labyrinth of metal pipes, nuclear wastelands, research bases, boulder movement, metal ghost voices, spirits calling, subsonic water texture, tree bark connection, wind interference and many more. In addition, all the files are available in 24Bit 96kHz and with UCS compliant metadata to integrate seamlessly with your workflow.
The sounds will also make a great addition to your library as layered textures, to build a mysterious atmosphere in your projects, and will be perfect as drones and ambiences for futuristic, sci-fi and horror scenes.
You will be saving 25% of the total cost of the individual libraries when purchasing this bundle, an excellent value for money addition to your sci-fi/horror sound effects libraries.

Immerse yourself with this collection of ambisonic zoo atmospheres, comprised of animal soundscapes ranging from grumpy flamingos, screaming gibbons, loud lories, curious geese, vocal chimpanzees, amongst other residents of Lisbon’s Zoo. You’ll also find plenty of crowd recordings, ranging from very quiet and distant conversations, to people passing-by from multiple directions and chair-lift discussions, all in different languages.
The zoo’s staff graciously allowed me to record before opening hours, resulting in neutral soundscapes alongside the regular crowded ambiences. This gives you flexibility in how you can use these sounds for your projects.
This sound library is available in both Ambisonics FuMa (B Format) and Stereo (Binaural) formats.
If you wish to support the animal conservation efforts of Lisbon’s Zoo, you can do so either as a company or as an individual.

Know how you can do your part through the hyperlinks above or contact your local sanctuaries for more information.
Beirut, the capital of Lebanon is where East-meets-West. Fast-paced, crowded and congested with traffic, it’s filled with car honks and city noise. Among all the destroyed buildings, you will find its deep and rich history. Beirut has also a more relaxed side, filled with cafes, restaurants and never-ending nightlife. This library features a small glimpse into this multicultural Arabic-speaking city.
A sound library powered by Earth’s molten interior
This library contains boiling mud pits, blasting steam vents, a geothermal power station and delicate trickles of running water all recorded from multiple perspectives. The library was edited down to be compact with the game audio designer in mind. The recordings were captured with Sennheiser MKH8040s and a MKH8060 so both stereo ORTF and a more direct mono image are available.
• In Avalanche and Tree-alanche, get a powerful collection of sliding snow and ice from the pristine wilderness of the Eastern Cascades, Washington. Hear massive slabs of snow break free and tumble down mountains with majestic power. Hear chunky slides as refrigerator-sized chunks of ice careen down slopes and waterfalls of powder moving like rivers of sand. Hear tree-alanches as snow and ice plastered to branches is dislodged by sun-melt and wind. Hear hellacious debris clouds as gusts hit local canopies and dislodge snow hurricanes of powder, ice, and branches.
• This library offers you a collection of sounds from an awe inspiring natural event. Avalanches are dangerous and extremely difficult to record. They have the natural power akin to tornadoes or wildfires. I hope you enjoy listening to the roars of wintertime in the remote mountains of Washington.

This SFX library features recordings of the Pacific Ocean at various locations along the beach within Refugio State Park. The incoming waves collide with large rock formations, creating great wave impacts and rushing water through small channels and hollow rocks. A variety of mic placements at various distances from the ocean were used, from directly over the water to larger distances, recording ambience behind massive rock walls and inside natural beach caves. In addition, a hydrophone captured underwater currents from waves splashing into small tide pools on the rocks.
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.
