Railway Rides: Sri Lanka is a thorough collection of 67 high-quality railway-related sounds, a bulk of which were curated from a 5 hour train journey through Sri Lanka’s Coastal line from Ahangama to Colombo.
The main interior train recordings are from an S9 diesel-electric multiple unit (DMU) train, which has all the clacking-characteristics you’d expect from a less modern open windowed train.
The 67 sounds included cover all major aspects of train travel and station activity, from exterior pass-bys and the bustling platforms of Ahangama and Colombo station, to the clattering and rocking interiors of the train itself at various speeds and stages in the journey. File lengths range from 6 second pass-by’s to lengthy 14 minute interiors.
Each sound has been precisely edited and labelled to represent the specific speed, dynamics and stage of the journey to allow for easier cutting in the edit. Some sounds are also labelled with differing levels of walla and background chatter, some having clearly localised dialogues with others being indistinct or at times not present at all.
The library was captured using a Stereo matched pair of Clippy EM272Z1 mics into a Zoom F3 recorder recorded at 96khz/32bit and is available at 96khz/24bit.
Our personal favourite sound in this library is

East River ferry immersion – pretty much all you’ll need to recreate a trip on the ferry – or how it sounds from the quayside/shore. Immersive binaural stereo locates you right by the ferry station with a groaning pontoon and creaking fenders and gentle river wave action. Then boarding and disembarking, as well as a suite of onboard sounds inside the main passenger cabin and out on deck. No wind buffet here … just awesome variable boat engine sounds and wave lap against the hull.
Binaural stereo – the next best thing to being there. Take a little trip … with the Audio Ninja.

Binaural soundscapes from Grand Central Station – recorded to have plenty of background (and some mid & foreground) voices without anything too recognizable – so you can add your own dialogue in the foreground, OR loop sections you like most without it being obvious. The central concourse soundscapes are fairly static – but others move at walking speed – between different locations from street level entrances, through the concourse to the platform. There’s even a couple of revolving doors and an empty escalator/platform to add your action onto. Recorded on (my) dummy head with high-quality omni mics – listening back in headphones instantly immerses you in the middle of the sound field. Binaural stereo – the next best thing to being there! And all with just two channels. So put your headphones on and take a little trip – with the Audio Ninja.

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.
