Weather sound effects and recordings, including rain, wind, thunder, storms and lightning
In times of global change it’s nearly impossible to hear places without human sounds. The majestic and old rainforests on the tropical south pacific islands creates an amazing soundscape. We recorded these soundscapes with a variety of organic sounds like exotic birds and animals, light and heavy tropical rain, wind blowing through trees and calm rivers and waterfalls. We also covered day and night moods. Our microphone setup is the amazing immersive Schoeps ORTF3D System powered by the precise preamps of the Sonosax R4+ and AD8+. These Systems allow us to record the incredible soundscapes of the south pacific rainforests in the most iconic way.

Gentle drizzle to thundering rain storm
Rain ambiences is a collection of detailed dripping, splattering and pouring rain. It has a little more than four and a half hours of rain recorded in ORTF or NOS in nature preserves, rural and urban areas.
I looked for the most wet sounding spots and spent hours relaxing to the sound of rain. It was really fantastic to record!
The sounds were mostly recorded at night and the ambiences have texture and detail with a range from rain aftermath to stormy downpour on many different surfaces. All files are thoroughly and carefully tagged with metadata and have UCS-compliant file naming.
From the art filled halls of the Louvre and the hustle of Gare Du Nord to the side streets of ‘Le Marais’ and the balconies of Monmartre, experience the soundscape of a romantic parisian getaway.
Crowds, the metro, patisseries, sunrise from our balcony, street cleaners, party goers and 9-5’ers rushing through train stations.
‘A Trip to Paris’ was recorded during… wait for it… a trip to Paris, in the summer of 2023.
Is is an library of primarily ambiences with very little processing.
Special thanks to my partner Kathy for tolerating my continued efforts to ruin our romantic getaway with my recorder.

There was a massive storm going on outside and we could hear the wind from the chimney so we popped our field recording kit up and extended the microphones to as far as they would go up the chimney and pressed record. We managed to capture the low end and rumbles of the wind interacting with the chimney.
We then tried adding some reverb on to the samples to give space and context which wasn’t exactly part of the plan for this sample pack but we thought it added something so decided to add these samples to the sample pack for no extra cost.
Chimney Wind will give you enough audio to give your project the authentic sound of wind from a chimney stack, boosting your project to the next level. Chimney Wind has been edited to allow a drop in ready and Royalty Free sample pack.

The power of wind becomes clear when you feel the gusts and breezes on your skin. In combination with another incredibly natural disaster like an eruption of a volcano it seems like a dystopian world. We recorded pacific winds, gusts and breezes on a huge plain at the foot of the Yasur Volcano on Tanna Island. Some recordings include loud eruptions of the volcano.

Lake Skadar Vol1: Winds & Ambiences is a first installment of the Lake Skadar series, showcasing the unparalleled sonic richness of the Lake Skadar National Park in Montenegro, a UNESCO nominee.
This library is a result of a massive effort put into the recording, editing, and (minimal)mastering process to deliver the highest quality sound effects.
The recordings were captured using a multi-microphone setup and stretched over several days to capture the essence of the location in all its sonic glory. The library features a whopping 2.5 hours of top-notch recordings of wind sound effects and general “air” ambiances.
With 52 files of high-quality recordings, you can listen to general airy ambiances of Lake Skadar, gentle winds being carried across the lake, distant frogs and birds, moderate and strong wind gusts that make the whole lake with its inhabitants silent, creaking trees and snapping branches, wind traveling through leaves and reeds, distant villages at night, and more.
The library comes packed with rich metadata, making it easy for you to find and sort the files you need for your projects. The files are also UCS compliant.
I highly recommend listening to the entire preview as it showcases the remarkable sonic diversity of this library. Keep in mind that the preview is only 10 minutes long, whereas the entire library features over 2 and a half hours of recordings.

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.
