Destruction sound libraries, impact sounds, bomb blasts, full-on slams & smashes, metal, wood, glass and rock debris, breaking and destruction sound effects & recordings – they’re all here, for the sound of utter destruction.
Periscope Post & Audio presents: Bang, Smash, Crash! An action packed sound effect library that truly lives up to its name. This library contains 177 audio files that bring wreck and destruction to life through multiple microphone perspectives on each sound. The sounds were created using a sledgehammer and crowbar while destroying a microwave, captured in mono on both the Sennheiser MKH8050 and the MKH60, and in stereo with the Sennheiser MKH8050 and MKH30, and the Shure SM57. Also included are recordings of a sledgehammer smashing and breaking rocks, using the Sennheiser MKH20 and the MKH60 for mono, and the Sennheiser MKH8050 and MKH30, and the Shure SM57 for stereo. Recorded at 24bit, 192k, with a handful of rock hits being recorded at 48k. From quick hits, to long crunchy drags, this library is a perfect addition to your collection, and brings ‘walking on broken glass’ to life! All of these awesome sounds give you an extraordinary 828 different pulverizing performances, which is over 3,000 sounds between each mic!
Epic Impacts Vol. 1 contains a huge arsenal of powerful and evocative impact sounds, split into different categories, ideal for Sound Designers and Composers looking for bold and unique effects to bring their projects to life.
To create this epic library, our Audio Craftsmen recorded sounds from instruments such as the guitar, piano, violin, zither and waterphone. We also recorded sounds of objects falling and hitting each other. We then layered analogue synths and manipulated the recordings to create unique sound effects. All the sounds were recorded in 24Bit 96KHz, allowing for additional sonic manipulation.
The pack includes a variety of general impact sounds as well as category folders which can be used in the genre you are working with. An incredible addition to any sound library.
Here are the included folders:
Abstract and Sci-Fi: Modulated and futuristic, these hits are ideal for Sci-Fi movies and video games.
Electronic Impacts: This category contains sounds with electronic elements and bass drops. Add extra weight to your mix with these deep and heavily crafted effects.
General Impacts: A collection of hits with wide use cases, perfect for trailers or dramatic moments that call for a more traditional impact sound.
Horror and Fantasy: Add anticipation and suspense with this collection of sounds designed from strange tones and abrupt effects, providing a mysterious edge to your productions.
Junkyard Car Smashed. Windows, doors, lights dash, great tearing of safety glass. Maybe should have ended up in gore, sweet and gross. Good glass shatter explosion.
I purchased a car in a junkyard and we went to town smashing it up. There are metal hits and glass hits as well. There are some great safety glass explosions as well as glass debris flying around inside the car. I smashed a bunch of the engine with a sledge hammer as well as dragging metal over engine parts. One of the best sounds is grinding and tearing the windshield. As safety glass is often covered with a thin film of plastic, it made the best sharp crackly flesh peeling sound ever. Perfect for adding destruction details.
SSL15 Metal Workshop Session is a full angle recordings from a metal workshop. All the machines in all the formats and angles. Choose between the close 416 mono mic, with the full power of the engine, or the far or medium surround format recorded 5/20 meters away.
This way we managed to get all the sounds from the visit to the workshop!

Steel Strings is a collection of 150 meticulously recorded sound effects, capturing the raw, resonant, and percussive sounds of a Fender Jaguar guitar—played in ways that was never intended. Inspired by the concept of a prepared piano, the strings were manipulated and played using unconventional objects, including soft mallets, drumsticks, metal rods, wooden sticks, metal plates, screwdrivers, and more. The result is a diverse palette of sounds that bear little resemblance to a traditional guitar, instead offering an array of metallic scrapes, deep impacts, resonant overtones, and rhythmic rattles.
To achieve maximum sonic depth, the strings were extremely detuned, creating deep overtones and unique textures. The guitar pickups were bypassed entirely, with the instrument recorded acoustically using high-quality contact microphones: the Lom Audio Geofón and Zeppelin Design Labs Cortado MkIII. This approach captures every nuance of the strings’ raw mechanical vibrations, and the deep resonance of the guitar’s alder wood body.

Hanging metal plate that was recorded with an ambient microphone and a contact microphone to produce other worldly effects. I use a lot of this in a granular synthesis engine to focus on harmonics which then become just about anything.

A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
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.
