Orbital Emitter is proud to present our first 3 in 1 Sound-Set Bundle, The Upper Decks!
This bundle is made up of of three distinct sound-sets focused on environments found within many science fiction stories and media! The Upper Decks Sound-Set Bundle is comprised of The Control Room, The Medical Bay and The Science Lab! Each of these environments contain meticulously crafted audio-scenes representing the three environments as well as the curated audio-stems (that are the isolated elements the scenes were made from.)
This sound-set is brimming with imaginative sounds and you have the ability to customize them any way you wish!
The first in our bundle is The Control Room – a somewhat cramped environment with futuristic tech sounding over the hum of nearby power systems. The mood is urgent and a bit rough around the edges- by design! Retro tech mingles with a lone AI speaking and a massive background rumble…
Next is the Medical Bay where the crew goes to be medically evaluated and healed using futuristic techniques. The mood is calm but controlled as a medical procedure unfolds before your ears! There are medical scans, anesthesia fields, healing apparatus and more!
Last is the Science Lab where mysteries are explored using the latest in futuristic scientific equipment! There are vibrant scans, dense subatomic extrapolations and neural data streams that will inspire your imagination!
All of our environments also include the less glamorous necessities like room tones and background rumbles to give your creations the believability they deserve.
The Upper Decks is a great value featuring a diverse palette of creative sounds for you to explore.
Just drag and drop our scenes or stems into any DAW or NLE have fun creating your own fantastic environments! Orbital Emitter’s sound effects are designed for anyone to use- from industry professionals to fans looking to add dimension to a home video or whatever sci-fi multimedia you can imagine!

We all know what central London sounds like. It’s noisy, crowded, and full of people trying to sell you watches. Ok, maybe that last point wasn’t that relevant, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond?
A short drive towards the suburbs will reveal a world filled with warm beer, cricket, and endless parks, where deer roam free.
When planning this library, the intention was to capture the quieter side of the metropolis, all year round! As a result, this library will receive multiple updates over the coming months. There will be one more summer update soon, along with an autumn update, winter update, and spring update.
If you purchase the library now, you will get it at the lowest price, and you will also get all the remaining updates for free.
So far, the first version of the library contains 15 .WAV stereo files at 96kHz/24 bit, recorded with a Sony PCM-D100/1, and contains approximately 35 minutes of summer ambiances in different locations throughout suburban London. Over the following months, I’ll keep traveling around the suburbs, collecting more and more ambiances, each update representing its own season.
Each file has been carefully edited in iZotope RX in order to remove as much unwanted noise as possible, such as random shouting, barking, etc. This will provide you with clean ambiences that will add character to your projects, without distracting the audience. That being said, do please note that the recordings contain some amount of traffic noise, and some also contain airplane noise. This is, of course, unavoidable when recording in a city such as London.
In addition to that, each file has been filled to the brim with SoundMiner metadata, allowing you to quickly search through the files, waste less time and dedicate more time to what you love doing!
If you have any questions about this library, feel free to quickly send me an e-mail. I tend to reply within minutes.
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.
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.
