    City Life Sound Effects Telephone Booths Play Track 54 sounds included, 103 mins total $19.99

    Telephone Booths features the sounds of indoor wooden and outdoor aluminum telephone booths. From the early 20th century until the last decade, these booths could be found inside hotels, restaurants, offices, state capitol buildings, highways and rest areas throughout the United States. In addition, the library includes sounds of pay telephones that would have been used inside these booths. These include hand crank, 3-slot rotary and 1-slot push-button Touch-Tone telephones.

    I used a variety of microphones along with several miking techniques (X/Y, OFTF, and binaural). You’ll hear bi-fold doors sliding open and closed in stereo, sometimes accompanied by an annoying squeal. You’ll listen to coins being dropped into the phone and receivers being picked up and placed back on their cradles. And of course, you’ll hear numbers being dialed. On a rotary phone, each number takes slightly longer to circle the dial, with one being the shortest and zero being the longest.

  • City Life Sound Effects Quiet Streets 3d Play Track 100 sounds included, 580 mins total From: $135

    Quiet Streets 3D is the latest chapter in Articulated’s Quiet Streets series, offering a meticulously crafted collection of quiet urban ambiences. Designed with both creativity and precision in mind, this library captures the essence of urban stillness through the advanced Schoeps 3D ORTF recording technique, resulting in multi-dimensional soundscapes that reveal both horizontal and vertical spatial details.

    This library features 100 files delivered at 96kHz/24-bit. With a total size of 74.8 GB and over 9 hours and 40 minutes of carefully curated ambiences, Quiet Streets 3D is a comprehensive resource for creating immersive urban soundscapes.

    A Global Journey Through Quietude

     

    The recordings span cities across three continents, capturing the unique characteristics of urban environments in Paris, London, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Bangkok, Naples, Kuala Lumpur, Montreal, Regensburg, Hong Kong, New Delhi, Strasbourg, Singapore, and more. Each location offers its own subtle yet distinct textures, from the hushed buzz of a late-night street in Bangkok to the subdued murmurs of a Parisian alley at dawn.

    A Commitment to Quality

    Over two years, our team travelled to these cities to document quiet moments in urban life. Recordings were made at various times of day and across seasons, capturing the interplay of natural and environmental sounds. The ambiences feature layers of biophony (birdsong, rustling leaves), geophony (wind, distant rain), and faint traces of anthropophony (passing footsteps, distant traffic). Care was taken to minimize intrusive noises, ensuring that these recordings integrate seamlessly into projects that require clarity for dialogue or sound effects. Note: at times some distinctive authentic events were kept in order to give the choice for the editor to use them in their projects. These are tagged as marker on the spectrogram.

    A Versatile Tool for Storytelling

    The library’s 8-channel 3D ORTF format provides an intricate sense of space, making it ideal for surround sound configurations in film, video games, and immersive media. For those working in stereo, we’ve included a high-quality downmixed version of every file, offering flexibility without compromising quality.

    Recorded with the acclaimed Schoeps 3d ORTF system, it has a total of 8 discreet channels, 4 on the lower plane arranged in 2 pair of ORTF similar to a IRT-Cross, and doubled with a higher plane of 4 more microphones. The channel layout of the sound recorded and delivered is as this: L R Ls Rs hL hR hLs hRs (whereas h stand for high). Learn more about this configuration here: https://schoeps.de/en/products/surround-3d/ortf-3d/ortf-3d-outdoor-set.html

    Every file is embedded with UCS-compliant metadata, allowing for intuitive searching and streamlined integration into your workflow. The metadata includes detailed descriptors, location names, and environmental characteristics, making it easy to find the perfect ambience for any scene.

    A Timeless Collection for Any Project

    Whether you need the intimate quiet of a European alley or the expansive stillness of an Asian metropolis, Quiet Streets 3D provides a rich palette of urban soundscapes. This library is not just a collection of audio files—it’s a carefully curated journey through the subtleties of urban life, designed to enhance the emotional depth and spatial realism of your projects.

  • Bird Sound Effects Residential Forest IV – Autumn Play Track 34 sounds included, 341 mins total $29.40

    Garden and nature in Autumn. Sparse bird songs, busy gardeners, dogs barking with pleasant echoes, roosters calling, jets and propeller planes passing by, as well as moments of dead silence, hunters’ gunshots, and eerie rustling in the depths of the night; the awakening of nature and residents during the early morning hours, and much more.

    ‘Residential Forest IV’ is the fourth library in my series of long-term recordings in a German allotment environment. This area is a remote place surrounded by forest, featuring cottages, ponds, and abundant natural sounds. The library combines suburban, residential, and forest ambiences into a cohesive soundscape.

    ‘Residential Forest IV’ contains 34 unique ambiences recorded in Germany during Autumn, specifically on October 31, 2024, from 1 p.m. until 1 p.m. the following day. From these 23 hours of recordings, I selected and edited the best moments, compiling them into a 6 GB sonic journey through time — from afternoon to evening, through the night, and into the morning and midday hours of a residential forest area.

    To capture the dead silence of the night, I used an extremely low-noise matched pair of Rode NT1-A microphones along with the Tascam HD-P1 recorder.

    The total duration of the library is approximately 3.5 hours. Most of the ambiences range from 5 to 10 minutes in length, though some are longer, and a few are shorter.

    ‘Residential Forest IV’ was recorded in AB stereophony at 48 kHz, 24-bit resolution.
