Home Destruction & Impact Sounds Page 8
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.
BLAST THROUGH YOUR PRODUCTIONS
The most comprehensive cannon library ever on the market, these earth-shaking blasts will greatly improve your historical themed games, films, and other projects. These high-quality recordings use cutting-edge techniques to deliver intense volleys of sonic mayhem.
Cannons were once a defining feature on every battlefield across the world. Invented in China, the military technology quickly spread and now the image is instantly recalled whether discussing Napoleon, the American Civil War, or pirate escapades. Despite the prevalence of cannons throughout history, a solid, complete sound library is yet to exist. Until now.
From fort-smashing bombards and high-angled mortars to 16-pounder frigate loads, this cannonade of 15 different cannons covers just about any production firepower need. These cannon blasts, impacts, and flybys are indispensable components of any sound design for any film or game action sequence set in the late medieval to early modern periods. They can also be used to give trailer sound design and general explosions a much heavier punch.
What’s inside
Open Fire! A collection of naval weapon reports and impacts. Cannon, mortar, chain shot… a selection of Age of Sail naval weaponry, with close, medium, and far variations. Each variation is a single file, ready for video game usage.
From full broadsides to musket reports, this boutique collection also includes impact sounds, projectile passes, and even near-miss splashes.
Gravity volume 2 is the second installment in the Gravity series and consists of impact and drag effects for 9 different materials. Again we set aim to record realistic sounds, minimally compressed and useful as base for physics simulation or foley.
You’ll find some weird sounds and textures in here suitable for many other uses as well. How about squealing styrofoam drags, a 10 meter PVC pipe, or walnuts suitable for skull and bone simulation!
All sounds have been edited to single takes per file, grouped per material in their own folders. In addition to a basic description in their filenames, each individual file has more elaborate META tags included. This gives you quick access to the sounds you need without losing that creative flow.
For scrapes and drags, we recorded long and medium takes which can be used for the construction of loops.
The ultimate metal sound toolbox with all the sounds you need for your metallic cravings!

Geophonic Design Bundle is a diverse collection of unique and abstract designed sounds with infrasonic frequencies which go as low as 10Hz. The bundle includes three libraries with a total runtime of 217+ mins (7.01 GB) that have strong sci-fi & horror vibes perfect for your films, video games, documentaries and other projects that require a mysterious and ominous soundscape.
Our Audio Craftsmen used a ‘Geophone’ which is a seismic measurement device used to record seismic waves and vibrations of the earth, to record low heavy vibrations and rumbles of various surfaces and materials, hits and interactions of wood, metal, trees, soil, clay and other natural ingredients. We have also captured sounds from window glass, busy roads with vehicle pass bys, metal posts and rails with impacts, water passing through pipes, metal containers, plastic buckets and much, much more.
All of the included sounds were then precisely edited and designed by our dedicated in house team to build ambiences such as: outer space, underground bunkers, submarines, weather stations, underground sewers, a labyrinth of metal pipes, nuclear wastelands, research bases, boulder movement, metal ghost voices, spirits calling, subsonic water texture, tree bark connection, wind interference and many more. In addition, all the files are available in 24Bit 96kHz and with UCS compliant metadata to integrate seamlessly with your workflow.
The sounds will also make a great addition to your library as layered textures, to build a mysterious atmosphere in your projects, and will be perfect as drones and ambiences for futuristic, sci-fi and horror scenes.
You will be saving 25% of the total cost of the individual libraries when purchasing this bundle, an excellent value for money addition to your sci-fi/horror sound effects libraries.

CHECK THE DEMO. It was created using ONLY the sounds of the library!
Here a library of one of the most active volcano in Europe: The Stromboli.
The actual sound library contains 73 sound recordings for a size of 2.6 GB.
Eruptions were recording mainly from three distances:
• at 200m of altitude and 1,3km distance from cratere
• at 400m of altitude and 1km distance from cratere
• at 850m of altitude and 500m distance from cratere
I stayed here one month to manage to have the most diversified eruptions that offer Iddu the volcano. A friend who accompanied me did beautiful shoots with cameras and drone. You can have a look to the video. This project brought us to another one, that’s coming up in the next months, a type of documentary about the whole island and his inhabitants.
So in the future I will add more sounds of Stromboli, the city, the people, the sea, the animals, the ambient etc… that you could listen and download for free on my website.
I wanted this sound library focused on the eruptions, but I put also a few recording of the waves and water because they sound particularly strong and they suggest the volcano’s sound: All the island is little made of “fresh” lava’s rock, that make every impact very resonant in the bass frequencies.
This library contains also a few ambient of the island, his city and his surrounding nature. And some roomtone corresponding to the place where I recorded the eruptions.
All recording made with the Nagra VI. Neumann mics, audio technica MS and Micromix amp for some specifics recording.
Steel Strained Faunethic sound library is a unique collection of 59 sounds of large metal structure under stress and pressure.
This library focuses on the musicality and the tonality of metal material, perfect to add tension and anxiety to your productions.
All these sounds have been recorded and produced with high quality equipment at 24/96 kHz at very low noise floor in nice acoustics.
-Metal resonances and vibrations.
-Metal stress, groan and scrape.
-Metal shake.
-Spring rattling and hit.
-Hit and low impact.
-Designed files.
This collection comes in two sections:
-Raw material: construction kit to create and design your own effects. Most of the sounds come with many variations.
-Designed: ready to use sound effects, tonal, scifi, bassy, saturated and modulated.
This library provides authentic and interesting sounds, recorded with Neumann, MBHO and DPA mics powered by an Aeta 4minX.
Recorded and edited in high resolution, these sounds are easy to pitch down and time stretch to create unique and surprising sounds.
All Faunethic tracks include metadata tags carefully edited, compatible with Soundminer, Soundly and Basehead.
This bundle includes our popular Metal source material library and ALL future derived sound design libraries from Metal Hits, Scrapes & Squeaks. The first derived library is Metal Souls.
The Metal Forge ensemble included is a simplified version of our Forge ensemble. It comes pre-loaded with various Metal samples for the ability to quickly create new sounds from the provided material.
Metal Souls
I spent a great deal of time exploring pitch manipulation with this library. Much of it relied on rendered processing to acquire the aesthetic that I wanted. My vision was to make something ethereal and vocal but also a bit vague.
Metal Hits, Scrapes & Squeaks
Props include objects such as sheet metal, sledgehammers, paint cans, metal buckets, metal grating, metal marbles, cups, pots and pans, dry ice (contributing squeaks and squeals), metal bars, metal stands, chains and more.
Featuring a very special (and spatial) library. If you want true natural interior noises, Noisy Buildings delivers. The pack contains high quality sound files, recorded in abandoned spaces. This first volume represents rumble and rattle sounds, perfectly suited for psychedelic and horror madness – or just when you want to create an unsettling atmosphere. The sounds are rich in natural reverbation, which is specific for large and medium building spaces. For example, you can find very loud and strange sounds of breaking windows, falling into the elevator shaft.

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.
