  • Weather Sound Effects A Touch Of Wind Play Track 24 sounds included, 137 mins total $30

    A collection of winds in various circumstances: interiors and exteriors, through gaps in windows and doors, battering windows, roaring in chimneys, whining through wires and rattling shutters and leaves.

    Includes two very long-form recordings and twenty-two medium length wind sounds, for almost every situation where you need something a bit different from the same old material.

  • Environments & Ambiences Rain, Rivers & Waves Play Track 97 sounds included, 230 mins total $79

    Spanning five years of meticulous field recordings “Rain, Rivers & Waves” gets you nearly 8 GB of pristine water sounds in all shapes and sizes.

    The collection includes 97 files recorded in stereo at 96 kHz.

  • Weather Sound Effects Cinematic Winds: Volume 2 Play Track 77 sounds included, 180+ mins total $119

    Create with the dynamic energy of wind. As one of the most challenging subjects to record, wind sounds also inspire a range of creative and practical uses on projects of all types. That’s why we’re proud to present Cinematic Winds: Volume 2 – the exclusive followup to our most popular specialty library, Cinematic Winds.

    Like its predecessor, much of this wind sound effects library is curated from legendary film sound designers Ann Kroeber and Alan Splet – both well known for their work with David Lynch and more. Volume 2 expands on this with even more moody, colorful wind recordings from Academy Award®-winning sound artist Richard King (Dunkirk, Inception) plus recordist/sound designer Colin Lechner (Raconteur Sound).

    These sounds are full of character – from light breezes and swirling heavy gusts, to carefully-crafted whistling wisps and ghostly roaring swells. Capture the emotive power of wind as it rustles through leaves and howls through windows – ideal for inducing subconscious emotion, imposing a powerful presence, or creating both earthy and surreal soundscapes.

    Descriptive embedded metadata helps you find exactly the sound you need with practical, literal interpretations as well as emotional impressions of the sound effects. The wind sounds are grouped into five categories:

    • Moody Winds: Tonal, eerie, mournful, lonely
    • Interior Winds: Resonant staircases, barns, caves, pipes
    • Nature Winds: Through trees, over mountains, water, sand
    • Wild Winds: Gusting, whipping, whooshing, swirling
    • Storm Winds: Intense, howling, rumbling, shrieking

    Key Features:

    •  77 sound effects (7.48GB)
    • Over 3 hours of powerful wind recordings
      • Average file length: 2 minutes 30 seconds
    • 24bit/48k, 24bit/96k, 24bit/192k broadcast .wav files
    • Descriptive embedded metadata
    • 100% Royalty-Free

    Credits:

    Ann Kroeber, Alan Splet, Richard King, Colin Lechner

  • 204 retro-themed samples for guaranteed flashbacks.

    These sounds are ideal for:

  • Weather Sound Effects Tonal Wind Play Track 60 sounds included, 90 mins total $42

    These sounds will sweeten and add character to your wind sounds. Lots of whistling, squeaking, howling and singing wind. From low rumbles, mid honks to harsh high frequency blows, this modular library is the perfect construction kit for creating otherwordly swirls and heavy storms.

    The sounds were recorded at the windorgan in Vlissingen(NL), at the monument Halde Hohenward and  in Zoutelande(NL) & Essen(GER).

    In addition to the original wind sounds creating tones on objects, you will get a few rattling flagpoles, waving flags and singing flag cords. And some bonus windmill sounds.

    About half the sounds are delivered in stereo, the focus though is on mono sounds. I captured the very sweetspot where the wind created unique tones. To focus on these rare events, I mostly used a single spot mic. In winds up to 48 mph you will have carefully selected mic positions for a broad variety of wind torturing different objects.

    The stereo files deliver a symphony of wind with various pitches and broad dynamics.

  • Environments & Ambiences African Cloud Forest Play Track 35+ sounds included, 215 mins total From: $140

    African Cloud Forest is a collection of immersive ambiences recorded in Ethiopia’s high-altitude montane rainforests. These recordings will transport you to the heart of remote cloud forests, teeming with wildlife and free from man-made noise.

  • Weather Sound Effects Rain & Thunder Play Track 160 sounds included, 406 mins total $60

    Rain and Thunder – sound library with 160 recordings. In total 14,2 GB of high resolution/quality 24/96 recordings. There are recordings captured in urban as well as nature environments like: thunderstorm, thunder strikes, rain and rainy ambiances and textures, far field, mid field, near field recordings.

    This sound library is where you can find: gentle, strong and torrential rain. Rainstorm. Rain with blizzard, rain falling on different ground and materials, like: rain falling on dead lives on the ground, or metal roof, or on window glass, umbrellas etc.There are nice room tones too, like: rain captured in cabin, rooms of different size, in the truck, in the car, in building lobby, garage,… again check the list of sounds for full info. All files are metadata tagged, with detailed description of placement of mics, equipment used etc.

     

    Various microphone techniques/mic patterns are used in the making of this library, depending on the object of recording. Recorded in: MS stereo; X/Y: DIN, NOS stereo, SASS stereo; mono (with shotgun mic); and even with parabolic reflector in stereo.

    Recorded with high end recording equipment: Sennheisers MKHs, AKGs,…mics; Rycote blimps, Sound Devices 744T recorder, Sound Devices MixPre mixer, Mogami cables, etc.

    Maximum peak level on all recordings is -5 dBFS (for great dynamic range, great headroom), originally recorded with great headroom keeping in mind and to maintain great dynamic range of this natural phenomena.

  • Ambisonic Sound Effects Ambisonic Cromer Beach Play Track 16 sounds included, 125 mins total $18

    All recorded with the Sennheiser AMBEO VR and a Zoom F8.

    Combination of Heavy and Light Waves

    B-Format Ambisonics and Binaural Stereo Files.

  • Weather Sound Effects Urban Winds II Play Track 29 sounds included, 65 mins total $26

    Urban Winds II gets you 65 minutes (2 GB) of medium and high-wind sounds in 29 separate files – recorded in 24bit/96kHz M/S stereo (decoded to X/Y stereo and mono), using Sennheiser MKH micophones. All files are UCS-compliant.

    You get empty streets and alleys, office exteriors and a marina. You get steel wires that whistle and whip in the wind, pipes and cavities resonating in the gusts. You get ambiances and a few specifics. I have tried to strike the balance between variety and nuance, to give you sound pros something to build a scene around. In that sense, this really is a construction kit of sorts. This collection picks off where Urban Winds left off.

    You will hear very little human activity – other than distant traffic. I recorded mostly at night, and in large, undisturbed areas.

    In some of the recordings, you will hear wind buffeting – more of the windscreen than the microphones – but there is some. In some cases, I opted to tame the most violent events, but others I left in. In many cases, wind noise reduction simply took away too much of the forcefulness, so I left it as is.

    Some specifics appear in both mono and stereo versions, where the stereo version are X/Y derived from the M/S source files and the mono versions are simply the Mid channel. I did this, because most people seem to prefer X/Y files for post-work, rather than M/S – but a down-mix of X/Y to mono would be inferior to using the original Mid-mic signal. All sounds were captured in Aarhus, Denmark.

    Urban Winds 2 delivers:
    • Howling, moaning, whistling wind sounds
    • Wind-battered city ambiances
    • X/Y Stereo and Mono sounds (decoded from M/S)
    • Metadata included in CSV and ODS (OpenOffice) formats – here’s a PDF preview:
  • Nature & Countryside Ambiences Wild Rain Play Track 69+ sounds included, 523 mins total From: $150

    Wild Rain is a collection of rain soundscapes recorded in 4 rainforests across 3 continents: the Amazon rainforest, the Borneo rainforest, the Congo basin rainforest and the Ethiopian cloud forest. The library features rain falling on vegetation and forest floor, from sparse drops to moderate and heavy rain. Several recordings of rolling thunder are also included. All recordings also include the sound of the forest and wildlife to varying degrees. Cicadas, frogs, birds and even an elephant can be heard in the background. Lastly, Wild Rain comes with extensive metadata and is UCS compliant.

  • Environments & Ambiences Windy Forest Play Track 22 sounds included, 87 mins total $40

    Windy forest is a collection of forest ambiences with wind ranging from soft to strong. We spent two stormy days out in the deep forests of Norway and managed to capture a wide variety of wind sounds. The recordings are nearly 100% bird free so they are very usable internationally.

  • Aeolus is a collection of gritty and eerie sound design elements performed entirely by intense winds. These recordings were made on custom-made wind harps, handmade props, barbed wire fences, telephone poles, and other found objects. It is utterly unlike a normal wind library.

    This collection of layers and elements of howls, drones, moans, creaks, rattles, clatters, and clanks provides rich material for the creation of unsettling ambiences, eerie presences, spooky room tones, and textural sweeteners for realistic winds. Aeolus is filled with conveniently long takes of piano wire, power lines, barbed wire, and other found and prepared objects that rumble, chitter, chatter, resonate, and whistle, in both gusty and sustained winds. Its sounds are perfect for horror scenes, magical effects, straining force fields, steampunk ambiences, extreme weather, high desert dramatic tension, or rusty post-apocalyptic soundscapes.

    This UCS-compliant sound library is not a pure field recording collection; it contains lengthy recordings that are both minimally processed and extremely time- and pitch-altered. Some recordings lasted overnight, then reduced to mere minutes, remapping sound events into unfamiliar cadences or into/out of human hearing range. 

    Aeolus includes over two hours of raw recordings and twenty additional minutes of designed sounds from the original recordings, ready to use in a project or to serve as a launchpad for further inspiration.

  • Water & Ocean Sounds Water Exploration Play Track 26 sounds included, 82 mins total $20

    These sounds were recorded over 3 years in southern Australia.

    It comprises ambience and atmosphere recordings of beach waves, forest streams, rivers, a dripping cave system and even a sewage processing plant (The Poo Machine!!). There are also Hydrophone recordings of urban swamp insect life, jetties and water treatment systems. Many of the recordings offer multiple perspectives of the same subject from close up to distant.

    They were all recorded using Sennheiser, DPA, Sanken and Soundfield Mics as well as a pair of Hydrophones. All recorded into Sound Devices 788 or 633 recorders.

    The recordings were mixed to stereo with minimal post processing.

    Most files are loopable. And great care was taken to record clean sounds that are useable in an edit.

    I hope you enjoy and find these useful for you projects.

    The Beach sounds were recorded on the Mornington Penunsula in Victoria Australia. The waves range from gentle currents lapping at the sand to heavy surf waves. Different perspectives from close to distant were recorded to give greater flexibility when editing. These were recorded using a pair of supercardioid mics.

    The cave recordings were captured at the Yarrangobilly caves in the Kosciuszko National Park, they feature a continuously dripping soundscape. The entrance to one of the caves is a large cavern with part of the roof caved in. In this space birds dart around and water drips. Further into the cave there is just the continual dripping of water. These were recorded using a spaced pair of Omni mics to give a sense of space and a centre hypercardiod to pick some detailed drips.

    Also captured at Kosciuszko National Park are some recordings of rain and wind gusts through trees. I was able to place the microphones and recorders into protected rock formation and leave them recording for hours on end. 

    A pair of hydrophones was used to explore an urban water treatment project at the Trin Warren Tam-boore (Bellbird Waterhole) The wetland has been designed to treat water from the surrounding area through natural biological processes.  It provides water to irrigation systems for the Royal Park Golf Course and other sporting grounds in Royal Park.

    I was able to record pumped water flow as well as a symphony of underwater insects. The insects probably included Backswimmers and Dragonfly larvae, often called ‘mudeyes’, amongst others.

    The streams and rivers were recorded in both country New South Wales and Victoria. Most of these recordings were captured using Soundfield Microphones, the ST450 Mk2 as well as the SPS200. There is a variety of fast flowing, gentle, close up and distant. As well as a ’study on fishing from a tin boat’. No fish were caught.!!

    And finally a machine. A sewage treatment plant gives us a great slopping, mixing sludge sound.

    I hope you enjoy these sounds.

Lots of variations with around 88 recording time of howling winds. Could be used to recreate wind gusts, hurricanes, typhoons, high altitude or winter atmospheres. To have even heavier sound try to pitch it down a bit.
