Cinematic & Trailer Sound Effects EXCAVATOR MAYHEM – Mud & Water Play Track 135 sounds included, 105 mins total $110

Presenting EXCAVATOR MAYHEM — a vast collection of massive sounds captured from a real backhoe loader in action with its engine off. Mud & Water is the first volume in this series, packed with everything you need to shake your audience with authentic, colossal recordings drawn from every imaginable liquid texture. No layering, no sound design — what you hear is exactly how it sounded on site.

This library condenses more than 5 hours of recordings from 4 sessions into a curated collection, captured at a riverbank, a swamp, and a pit dug with the excavator, where a spring began filling it with groundwater, creating a massive water pool. Combined with the excavator’s boom, this setting allowed me to perform large-scale foley actions such as impacts, drops, splashes, splatters, bubbles, drains, waterfalls, and much more.

Some recordings were captured with up to 10 channels across 4 microphone perspectives, including A-format ambisonics and an experimental stereo geophone that managed to capture rich underwater textures without the need for a hydrophone. These are available in the RAW folder, while the PROCESSED folder contains both downmixes from all microphones and subtly refined versions of the sounds with light compression and EQ—nothing too aggressive, just to give you more “ready-to-go” files.

Recording the sound of the waves at Trisik Beach is an immersive experience. The ocean breathes with power, each surge rolling in with a thunderous roar, then receding with a soothing hiss as it drags along the sand. The coastal breeze hums gently, occasionally mixing with the distant calls of seabirds and the rustling of coconut palms lining the shore.

This sonic atmosphere is pure and profound—ideal for field recordings, meditation soundtracks, or simply as a memory of nature’s untouched beauty. At Trisik Beach, it’s not just about hearing the waves; it’s about feeling them resonate through the earth and into your soul.

Wayne Pashley

Supervising Sound Editor/Re-recording Mixer, The Lego Movie & Mad Max: Fury Road

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!

Charles Deenen

Director, Digital - Source Sound Inc.

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!
