Ambience recordings from around the world

  • The China: Temple Bells & Crowds sound library was recorded in two locations. The first within the Yungang Grottoes, a UNESCO World Heritage site from the Wei Dynasty era, and the second, an ancient Taoist temple built in the Tang Dynasty in the outskirts of Beijing.

    The library includes recordings of large prayer bells, Buddhist wind chimes, wooden wishing sticks adorned with twinkling bells, background and foreground crowd walla in Mandarin, Chinese, birds, and other ambient sounds captured on location in stereo. We’ve also included some bonus designed sounds made from the recordings.

    These authentic recordings offer a sonic window into the atmosphere of ancient Chinese temples and shrines as they exist today. The sounds can be useful for adding realism to cinematic, game, or multimedia projects requiring an accurate representation of this cultural setting, or as fodder for creating mystical and spiritual designs.

    China: Temple Bells & Crowds Sound Library Teaser

  • City Life Sound Effects In The Traffic Play Track 58 sounds included, 44 mins total $49

    In Taiwan, immersing in traffic of scooters and cars is a daily occurrence. Waiting for the green light in the sea of scooters, and VROOOOOOM, all the scooters simultaneously rev their engines and accelerate forward as the light turns green. These are the sounds of the rush hour traffic in Taipei.

    IN THE TRAFFIC is a sound library that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the traffic in Taipei city.

    It features the sounds of scooters, cars and buses passing by, the idle scooters sea at red lights, and the eager acceleration of scooters and motorcycles as they compete to speed forward when the light turns green. Additionally, the sounds of riding through tunnel and underpass can also be found in this sound library.

    IN THE TRAFFIC adopts a slightly experimental approach, placing the microphones on the front sides, and riding a relatively quiet electric scooter with almost no engine sound in the traffic of Taipei.

    Bird sounds and human voices have been carefully removed, providing you pure useful recordings for your creative works.

    This library includes 58 stereo files recorded in AB at 96 kHz. Approx. 44 minutes total.

    Additionally, this library was carefully tagged with rich Soundminer metadata, including marks in the recordings highlighting interesting sounds.

    And of course, all the recordings were recorded, edited and mastered with care and love.
