Environment recordings, ambiences and soundscapes – from all over the world, and beyond
UK Big City Exteriors contains a varied assortment of ambient sounds captured during field recording sessions in Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield by our team of Audio Craftsmen. The effects in this library will make for a fantastic addition to your general audio collection and will be perfect for use in short films, documentaries, commercials, and video games based both in the UK and abroad.
The team has gone out of their way to bring you a range of different sounds, including tram squeaks, recordings of people passing by, crowds, street sweepers, skylines, construction and much, much more. We recorded a selection of ambiences at different times of day, covering many different central city locations to give you the most authentic & grounded representation of the UK city life to use in your projects.
The files included in this library have been meticulously edited so that you can drop them into your project timeline instantly and are provided dry in 24Bit 96kHz allowing for further sonic manipulation if required. All files are tagged with extensive metadata and are UCS compliant to allow you to search for and select the desired sound with ease.
Some of the included sounds are: Water features, Bus idling and departing, children playing, car pass bys, preachers, cityscapes and skylines.
Here is a selection of a few water splashes and movements, perfect for games, animation and sounddesign.

SONIC DIVERSITY – INCREDIBLE RECORDING QUALITY
Increased available water at the edges of streams and rivers allows for plentiful plant growth, resulting in added food and shelter, which, in turn, increases wildlife diversity and translates into greater sonic diversity. An added plus is higher humidity. Humid atmospheres are more elastic than arid atmospheres and therefore propagate sound faster and more clearly to your microphones, resulting in excellent sound quality.
EXCEPTIONAL REVERBERATION
From a sound designer’s perspective, these lush and varied locales also often feature a unique tubular echo due to overhanging vegetation and the landforms cut by the flowing waters. Factor in the much higher biodiversity than in adjoining habitats and you can generally count on mesmerizing soundscapes that will delight your audiences.

Many of these sounds can be repurposed for designed mech SFX as well.
This library features a Sonic Snapshot into the sonic signature of Shanghai, China. Hear traffic ambiences from a city with the world’s highest EV adoption rate, street sweeper bells played by workers driving three-wheeled trucks loaded with cardboard, walla from art galleries and metro stations, and the low-frequency drones of passing ships in the Huangpu River at the Shanghai Bund.

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.
