Universal Category System (UCS)

Sound effects libraries where the file names and metadata follow the Universal Category System (UCS), championed by renowned sound supervisor Tim Nielsen & more

  • Rivers, Streams, Brooklets, Creeks and Waterfalls recorded both above- and underwater.

    Over the past five years I constantly recorded flowing water at every opportunity. This library includes a fine selection of diverse sounds emitted by running water. From alpine mountain rivers that rush after the snow melt, brooklets jumping over rocks, natural and human-made tunnels, bubbling watersteps in streams, rapids and riverwaves to plattering waterfalls, straight concrete waste water run and groaning and hissing natural brooks.

    Some sounds are harsh and almost white noise, others are lovely and relaxing.

    I mostly recorded at night, to keep the recordings free of bird, car or plane noise.

    A broad spectrum of sounds to choose from for any film, game or audioplay scene, that needs WATRFlow. Bubbling, splattering, roaring, lively, hissing, talking and lapping murmur.

    Mics used: Earthworks QTC50, Neumann KMR81i, Ambient ASF1 & ASF2, Lewit 540s, Ambient Emesser,
