Roomtones Bundle compiles nine hours and twenty-five minutes of long, evolving, and varied ambiences recorded in four distinct ground and first-floor apartments. Both busy and quiet urban soundscapes can be found in these audio files, allowing you to create vivid backgrounds for your Virtual Reality projects. Additionally, rainy recordings are included, providing versatility alongside cityscapes that range from quiet traffic in the distance to bustling pedestrians, strange bathroom rumblings, construction work, barking dogs, and moments of dead silence.
Busier soundscapes also abound, such as the heavy hum of a fridge in a kitchen facing a street with sporadic vehicles and conversations, quiet living-room takes with distant voices and a dog snoring, persistent machine sounds from a pump, porch recordings on a rainy night, and a busy morning with varied traffic passing by.
Holiday beach house recordings are also included, featuring distant birds chirping, barking dogs, chatty neighbors, moderate to low traffic, intense fridge hum, and upstairs bumps. Quiet and neutral takes are also provided, which can be filled later with additional content. Each division includes two different takes with open and closed windows (where applicable), adding an extra dimension to these sound files. They are perfect for creating both quiet and languid roomtone soundscapes, conveying multiple moods for any desired VR experience.
Every sound designer’s worst nightmare is also fully realized with ten long takes of drilling, hammering, polishing, occasional conversations, and thuds from a ground-floor apartment undergoing heavy renovations. These audio files are ideal for roomtone soundscapes containing construction noise from neighbors or, with some clever tweaking, for simulating sounds from a nearby building.
This sound library is available in both Ambisonics FuMa (B Format) and Stereo (Binaural) formats.
STONE PROCESSING FACTORY is a sound library that captures the process of stone materials being transformed into slabs within heavy machinery.
It includes a wide range of metallic machinery sounds, the deep rumble of heavy stone vibrations, squeaks of friction, and the hiss of air valves releasing pressure. From cutting, rinsing, grinding, heating, flaming, manual back glue scraping, to transport operations, every step and every machine sound is thoroughly recorded. And of course, the noisy, industrial atmosphere of the factory itself.
It is more than just an industrial site. Here, machinery condenses the slow forces of nature into bursts of mechanical power. For example, water mixed with sand can cut through stones, same way as the constant erosive action of canyons. The friction of countless tiny particles swings back and forth between stereo channels. And the stones resisting the machinery create vibrations that resemble the heavy bass strikes of techno music, pounding directly into our nervous system.
In the preview, these various sounds are woven together in a montage, unfolding like a cyberpunk dream.
This library includes total 47 files, consisting of 22 mono files and 25 stereo files recorded in spaced pair at 96 kHz. Approx. 1 hour and 31 minutes total.Certainly, this library was carefully tagged with rich Soundminer metadata, including marks in the recordings highlighting interesting sounds.
All the recordings were recorded, edited and mastered with love and care.

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.
