Foley sound effects collections featuring everyday objects, movement and common, useful sounds
Ready, aim…FIRE!
Pull the trigger on this one-of-a-kind antique gun library! Using a multi-mic configuration (comprising the Sennheiser MKH50, Røde NTG-3 and Line Audio CM4 Stereo Pair) our Audio Craftsmen recorded a professional armourer manipulating two authentic 19th century muskets. The result is a carefully edited collection of intimate sounds, including opening and closing the frizzen, dry firing, trigger fidgeting, dropping and dragging the gun on various surfaces, loading with ramrods, blowing into the barrel, hands sliding and twisting across the gun, slamming the stock, grabbing the barrel and more!
Our multi-mic set-up means for most of the actions you can enjoy different perspectives while designing technical scenes. Perfect for Film, TV, documentary and game projects that feature flintlock or caplock muskets, rifles or pistols. This library is a real Foley treat!
Sounds have been separated into the following categories:
General Handling: Hand twists, grabs and slides.
Scraping: The stock (butt) of the gun scraping across wood and cobbles.
Loading: Actions involving the ramrod and barrel.
Mechanisms: Manipulation of cock, caplock, frizzen and trigger.
Groundwork: Anytime the gun is in contact with concrete, earth, sand and wood surfaces. Includes the gun dropping, falling and being picked up, as well as the stock slamming onto the ground.
Each file contains multiple performances of the named action.
All sounds were recorded in 24Bit 192kHz, and have been tagged with extensive UCS metadata for ease of use.
Create high quality air rifle sound collages with this foley-based sound library, filled with multiple one-shot sounds of handling, jiggling, dropping, grabbing; as well as what you’d expect from a BB gun library, including compression chamber pumping, cocking sounds from the piston drive compartment and good old-fashioned clean pellet shots on a neutral environment.

This Collection of Room Tones contains Recordings made in empty, abandoned old Buildings and Medieval Ruins. Unsettling Draft Sounds from different perspectives. Wind Gusts heard from inside, Wind Storm echoing in old Chapels or Church, eerie humming inside abandoned spaces, Tonal Draft creating creepy atmospheres… Over 2,5 hours of Urbex type ambiences, containing long files and loops for easy use and variety. Recorded in stereo inside and outside interesting, and secret places, which is a rule for urban exploring ;-)
These are not common Room Tones with only presence of a silent room, but more ambiences that are suited for games/movie where characters are supposed to be in shelter, in abandoned places, in castles, dungeons, prisons, machine rooms etc. Cracks, moving structures, rattling objects are left in purposely to really have a detailed and convincing setting for game, documentary or any visual content. Best is to keep the volume low enough to not overdo the atmosphere.
Care is taken to not have any disturbing human traffic in the recordings, so these will fit for most time periods and geographic locations.

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.
