Home Environments & Ambiences Weather Sound Effects Page 10
Weather sound effects and recordings, including rain, wind, thunder, storms and lightning
We heard there was a storm coming to the UK so of course we wanted to record it, instead of going to a wide open space we wanted to record it in a typical UK back garden, mainly as we wanted to record a storm reacting with its surroundings. This Storm was moderate in nature, we managed to record gusts of wind and rain as well as the storm rattling fences, blowing bushes/trees and moving items, as well as general residential/suburban sounds.
Back Garden Storm will give you enough audio to give your project the authentic sound of a good ole British Storm, boosting your project to the next level. Back Garden Storm has been edited to allow a drop in ready and Royalty Free sample pack. These Samples can be used in a variety of projects from Sound Designing/Compositions for TV, Film, Documentaries and Video Games. UCS Compliant and Metadata is attached to the samples
Seapoint Storm is a compact ambience library of a violent storm recorded at Seapoint Dublin.
We captured the enveloping gusts of the wind, the rumble of churning tides and the fearsome crashing of waves and their spray and splatter.
Inside the library you’ll find 24 ambient recordings along with some useful separated wave clashes.
“Nazare, Portugal. Big Waves spot” includes 9 stereo files (WAV, 96 kHz, 24 bit) of total length: 33m52s. All files were carefully edited and described with UCS metadata.
Recorded with Zoom H6 with internal mid-side capsule during three “big waves” days of January 2020.
What you can expect to hear is general loud ocean roar with strong wind, large waves breaking at the cliff rocks and much calmer morning recordings on the beach with long breaking waves and sea birds. Perfect as ambience for seaside scenes.
“Nazare, Portugal. Big Waves spot.” is 9 stereo files, 96/24. 1,08 GB big, all UCS ready!

Sweeping my flashlight across the still water I see the red glow of multiple black caiman eyes, a haunting stillness. Suddenly a reverberating splash breaks the rhythmic chorus of frogs and crickets as a caiman finds its evening meal, the first of many tonight. Giving a greater sense of space to this Amazonian lake the eyes of the caiman go on glowing, waiting for an unsuspecting fish to pass their open mouths.
It is impossible to not be present in the rainforest. Surrounded by mysterious night vocalization, stinging, biting insects, and penetrating humidity. Gratitude fills me for the Cofan guides who have taken our small group of sound recordists deep into their wildest territory. Nearly a constant buzz fills the soundscape which takes a few days to adjust to, but as I do I start to notice the thrilling variety of calls. Near and distant, there is a spectacular spaciousness and an intimacy that can only come from this unique location.
Rolls of thunder, rainy weather in the city or outside the city – these are the sounds included in the collection “Thunderstorm Rain Vol.2”.
These sounds are well suited for creating a stormy, rainy atmosphere for movies, games and other audio-visual content.
All sounds are recorded in WAV format, 96 kHz, 24 bit.
The following sounds are included:
Product Details:
“Rain & Thunder Residential Balcony” (RTRB in short) includes 21 stereo files (WAV, 96 kHz, 24 bit) of total length: 1h 48m 58s. All files were carefully edited and discribed with UCS metadata.
Recorded with Zoom H6 with internal mid-side capsule during few stormy days of June 2020 in the beginning of covid pandemic (hence there’s almost no traffic background!).
The idea was to place the mic on the balcony in the residential, suburban area of Warsaw, Poland, in the best, exact same spot each time, so the recordings can be edited seamlessly together. Library contains rain in every phase from begining, through light, medium and heavy to the ending and afterwards. That gives the editor the opportunity to navigate with rain intensity throughout the scene and even create the storm from pieces.
Different storm stages can work really well also for the computer game implementation.
There are lots of distant thunder rumbles but also few really close, sharp and scary thunder strikes.
RTRB is 21 stereo files, 96/24. 3,5 GB big, all UCS ready!

NORDIC ARCHIPELAGO BEACH consists of 17 sounds recorded on islands in the Gulf of Bothnia and is made up mostly of the sound of water on the rocky and pebble beaches which is quite different from what you would hear on the beach of an ocean.
The library was recorded using a Rode NT-SF1 and a Zoom F8n and is delivered as 48 kHz, 24-bit WAV and in both Ambisonic A-format and binaural stereo. The Ambisonic A-format files you can decode into mono, stereo or a variety of surround formats using plugins such as the free SoundField by RØDE plugin.
All files are recorded 32bit, 192 kHz, with FEL Clippy XLR EM272, FEL Pluggy XLR EM272 and Sonorous Objects SO.3 microphones, Sound Devices MixPre-6 II and Zoom F3 recorders. The goal is to record every city in Serbia with at least 3 different locations – pedestrian zone, park and high density roadway traffic.
I also created a map with all recorded locations: www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1KJ80IzKE7r7dllCZclECwbk9N8rz3wTa&usp=sharing
The first volume of the Useful Sound Effects Wind collection contains designed and synthesized winds. 56 Files give you the freedom to go from deep and dark sci-fi winds to natural sounding polar storms. Sandstorms, wooing and gusts are also included. Ranging from 1 minute to over 4 minutes, these files are fast and easy to use. Some files are indicated as looped, the others can easily be looped in a DAW.
Metatagged and UCS compliant, all files indicate a possible use, but sounds can be placed anywhere in a project, whether it is in a film, a game, a dialogue setting, or any media presentation.
Since these wind sound effects are made from scratch, no disturbing sounds can be found, so no animals, no distant traffic… You get clean wind, applicable for any geographic location, anywhere in time, on earth or elsewhere in the universe!

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.
