UK Canals, Parks and Forests contains a varied assortment of exterior sounds captured during field recording sessions by our team of Audio Craftsmen. The sound effects in this library will make an excellent compliment to your collection and are perfect for use in films, documentaries, commercials, and video games. They work well for projects based in the UK, but are equally at home in international projects.
The team travelled through picturesque locations around Greater Manchester – the heart of industrial Britain, capturing some of the world’s most beautiful canals and their essence in a set of ambience recordings. We also visited some wonderful parks and forests to record some of the people and the wildlife. We recorded forest paths, various birds, crows, children playing, rivers and geese all in real-world locations to give you the most authentic & grounded representation of the UK.
The included ambiences have been carefully edited to the same running length so that you can seamlessly drop them into your project timeline and are provided dry in 24Bit 96kHz allowing for further sonic manipulation if required. All files are tagged with extensive metadata to allow you to search for and select the desired sound with ease.
Some of the included sounds are: daytime canal with running water, geese with people passing by, under a foot bridge, ducks quacking in a canal, daytime forest birds, crows, people boxing in a park and many, many more.
UK Traffic & Vehicles contains a varied assortment of traffic & vehicular sounds captured during field recording sessions by our team of Audio Craftsmen. The sound effects in this library will make for a fantastic addition to your audio collection and will be perfect for use in short films, documentaries, commercials, and video games.
The team has gone out of their way to bring you a range of different sounds, including vehicle pass-bys and ambient recordings of distant traffic. We recorded a selection of cars, buses, trams and trains from varied perspectives, and all sounds were captured in their real-world locations to give you the most authentic & grounded representation of UK traffic & vehicle sounds to use in your projects.

The loud din of an OLD TOWN SQUARE, the quiet of a tree-lined street in a RESIDENTIAL AREA and the gentle rumbling of a PLANE flying by overhead while sitting in a secret garden. Including distant fog horns at the HARBOR, trickling FOUNTAINS, and cars stuck in TRAFFIC, this collection without a doubt encapsulates all the auditory wealth of the modern urban setting.
This library contains a wide range of subtle shoreline recordings. Coastlines feature waves lapping against rocks, sand bars and mangroves. All recordings were made in the early or late hours of the day to minimise background noise.

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.
