We collected these interior recordings over the years, capturing the unique atmospheres of rooms and places during our travels. Our equipment varied across sessions, adapting to the setting—whether in bustling cities, quiet small towns, remote countryside, the Himalayas, the Amazon, or distant islands. Our goal was to document the essence of each space, preserving the aural footprint of every location we visited.
Some recordings feature little more than stillness, while others include traces of local wildlife heard through windows or thin walls. You may also detect ambient noises like heaters, distant hums, machinery, traffic, or neighbors, resonating differently depending on the surrounding architecture.
We meticulously selected the best recordings, refining them to remove sections with excessive variation. Each sound was carefully edited to maintain a level of noise within the ‘subtlety’ range, ensuring they work seamlessly as background atmospheres that smooth out the sonic environment of any scene.
We are proud to present this collection, featuring some of the finest indoor silences we’ve ever captured—rich with delicate, everyday sounds at the edge of human perception. These recordings will help you effortlessly recreate beautiful, immersive spaces with natural charm.

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.
