Water and ocean sound effects – includes environments, movement, splashes and much more
Geophonic Design contains a wide variety of unique and abstract designed sounds which include infrasonic frequencies as low as 10Hz. The effects in this library have a science fiction/horror vibe, everything from alien spaceships to underwater ambiences. These are perfect for your films, video games, documentaries and other projects that require a mysterious and ominous soundscape.
Our Audio Craftsmen used a ‘Geophone’ which is a seismic measurement device used to record seismic waves and vibrations of the earth, to record low heavy vibrations and rumbles of various surfaces and materials, often using metal resonators to enhance the sound. We captured sounds from window glass, busy roads with vehicle pass bys, metal posts and rails with football impacts, water passing through pipes, metal containers, plastic buckets and much, much more.
All of the included sounds were then precisely edited and designed by our dedicated in-house team to build ambiences such as: outer space, underground bunkers, submarines, weather stations and other abstract ambiences. Moreover, all the files are available in 24Bit 96kHz and extensively tagged with metadata and are UCS compliant to simplify your workflow.
The subsonic sounds in this library will also make a great addition to your library as layered effects, to build an enigmatic mood in your projects, and will be perfect as drones and backgrounds for futuristic, sci-fi and horror scenes.
Various collected Fish Aquariums, Jacuzzi, Water Pumps, and different bubbles, made with dry ice, metal recipient or regular bubbles – high quality water bubbles and aquariums collected from various countries like Argentina, Ecuador, Germany, Switzerland, and Thailand.
59 Ambiences, most of them are loopeable, from the city of San Francisco, California (USA).
Recorded in October 2019.

Don’t be afraid to jump off the deep end and explore those murky depths.
Carefully recorded and designed, Unfathomed brings you rich sonic audio assets to compliment your underwater and ambient textural projects. A wide assortment of performances await, comprised of impacts, raking, scraping, bursts, bubbles, pressure, suction, and many more all enacted underwater in various vessels of different sizes and materials.
There are two types of content in this library: raw hydrophone recordings and designed assets created solely from those recordings. The raw recordings are only lightly and carefully edited, to be mindful of and preserve the ultra- and sub-sonics captured by the hydrophone. This is so that when wielding and rending these assets, you can push them to the extreme and get the widest possible range of results.
Whether you want cacophonous noise, or deep calming drones, Unfathomed is sure to be a boon companion on your submariner adventures.

AMONG NATURE’S MOST ENORMOUS FORCES
Sound Tracker® Gordon Hempton has recorded a fantastic and remarkable collection of waves in its various appearances. Hempton has searched the globe for more than three decades to record nature at its most pristine.
WHAT’S INSIDE
FROM GENTLE TO RAGING – VAST DYNAMIC RANGES
Waves are among the most universally appealing of all nature sounds. Their character changes dependent on tides, climatic and ground conditions, so they can come in as lapping, gurgling, surging, bubbling, sweeping, splashing, rumbling, rolling, howling, thundering, roaring, crashing and many other forms.
DIFFERENT SIZES AND CONTACT SURFACES
The library contains more than 5.5 hrs in 5.42 GB of pure and unaltered source recordings: 111 files which are classified by wave size and beach substrate (solid rock, boulder, pebble, sand).
This Library is also part of The Complete Quiet Planet Bundle.
Libraries from Quiet Planet are covered by a special EULA - read it here.WATER IN MOTION, AS PURE AND NATURAL AS IT GETS

WHAT’S INSIDE
ANY SOUND WATER CAN MAKE
No matter if you’re searching for trickles, babbles, gurgles, glugs, roars, splashes, surges, swishes, booms or some gentle water SFX, you’ll find it in this great and well-selected collection. This library offers a complete kit to produce whatever stream, river, or waterfall sounds you may need.
This Library is also part of The Complete Quiet Planet Bundle.
Libraries from Quiet Planet are covered by a special EULA - read it here.Mountain Rivers sound effects library is about strong, running water, which gains its power from waterfalls. The water falls from big heights and after it comes to the earth, it continues as a fast creek with a lot of water, or as we say “mountain river”. These recordings were made in the one of the most beautiful places in the World, Yosemite National Park.
In the centre of Yosemite Park we can find Merced River (which is 145 miles / 233 km long), surrounded by mountains and waterfalls. Recordings of the Merced River were made from 12 various points and some of them includes recordings which were made with various distances. Also the Mountain Rivers library contains recordings from the bottom of two waterfalls: Bridalveil and Yosemite. Most of these waterfalls recordings were made from the middle of the bridges, the best place for getting awesome panoramic atmosphere.
Bridalveil Fall Bottom (Bridalveil Creek): 3 recordings from 2 bridges and a 4th recording from the side of the mountain river.
Merced River: 12 recordings from 8 points include 1 / 5 / 15 / 20 / 50 meter distances from the mountain river.
Yosemite Fall Bottom (Yosemite Fall Creek): 2 recordings from the bridge in the centre of the mountain river from 2 meters and additional recordings where river was surrounded by rocks with great and unique reverb effect.
Yabby Pumping or Pumpin’ Yabbies (as we call it down under) is a process of sucking sand, mud and water to catch bait for fishing. In this library you will find 62 sound effects that capture those sounds. All files are metatagged.
Please note that my sound libraries do not go on sale (this is so prices are fair all year round), and they are sold exclusively on asoundeffect. :-)
This SFX library gets you the sounds of the remote San Antonio creek located in the Angeles National Forest – 32 recordings in total. The creek morphs from almost a trickle at 8,000 feet to a large waterfall below, allowing for a wide range of moving water sounds to be captured.
This sound library captures the unique acoustics of New Zealand’s caves, abandoned mines, and tunnels, recorded in stereo and surround.
You will find a variety of ambiences, from vast, echoing caverns to narrow passageways with close, damp acoustics. From the delicate trickle of water on mossy stone and heavy drips on dirt to the distant rumble of underground streams and the wind through old miner houses, these recordings bring the underground world to life.
This library reveals the rich echoes and shifting textures of these hidden spaces, where sound bends, fades, and resonates through stone and water.
This library is also available in The New Zealand Collection bundle.

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.
