Beautiful Bells Vol 2 contains the solo sound of 135 different stationary bells, captured in 39 bell towers, chapels, carillons, churches, cathedrals and clock towers across France, with unprecedented quality. Most of the sounds were recorded inside bell towers.
Stationary bells are struck by external hammers. They have a steady and rich tone, with a long sustain. They are mostly used as musical instruments in carillons, to indicate the hour in clock chimes or to alert the population in tocsins.
Every bell size and pitch is represented in this library, from huge 8 ton bourdon to tiny carillon bells weighing a few kilograms. You will find bells founded from 14th to 21st century with a great variety of timbres and tunings, over a range of 5 octaves (from G2 to G7).
The library contains 2 carillons with 54 bells and 10 bells, available as sound files and virtual instruments (NI Kontakt and EXS24 with round robin).
All the sounds in this library were recorded in bell towers or as close as possible to provide great sonic precision and optimal signal-to-noise ratio.
Over 12,000 kilometers were traveled during six months to get you one of the most exhaustive stationary bell, chime and carillon sound collection ever recorded.
• A total of 135 different bells, sorted by note from G2 to G7
• Wide variety of bells (size, age, tuning)
• 2 carillons virtual instruments
• Contains a collection of 10 small ancient bells

This library presents diverse means of rail transport in Italy. I recorded it in 2020, but some trains were decades old. In these you’ll find warm sounds of old electric motors, as well as creaking, rattling, squeaking and rumbling of their weathered bodies.
In some files you’ll hear some conversations of various intensity, as well as announcements in Italian and English, in foreground or background. Some of them are about covid restrictions, masks etc., but usually just station names.
In addition to 53 files with onboard sounds you get 11 files with ambiences from stations – indoor and outdoor, busy and desolate, with or without PA announcements.
The onboard sounds are made in 10 types of rail transport:
* vintage diesel railcar
Fiat ALn 668
(made in 1980s, designed in 1950s)
* vintage electric multiple unit
ALe 724

The Exterior Vibrations Bundle contains over 400 raw contact microphone recordings of dynamic movements captured in exterior environments.
2.51 GB of tonal, textural sounds were captured by our Cudio Craftsmen using stereo-configured contact mics. Interactions with a huge range of surfaces and materials (including metal, plastic, water, wood, plants and vehicles) were made to produce an abstract collection of hits, scrapes, drags, knocks, squeaks, taps, shakes, bounces, braams, creaks and more!
This organic bundle is perfect for designing or incorporating into abstract projects. Their resonant, slightly unnerving quality also facilitates design and processing for horror and sci-fi projects.
The entire bundle is delivered at 24 Bit. Vols. 1 and 2 are delivered at 96kHz, and Vol. 3 at 192 kHz. All sounds have been meticulously edited and tagged with extensive UCS compliant metadata for ease of use.
The Master Gun Zastava PAP M77 Sniper Rifle contains 20 microphone perspectives delivered at 192kHz Broadcast WAV files with UCS Standard Soundminer metadata. (54 Total Files, 4.93GB Total).
Exterior Vibrations Vol. 3Â comprises textural, tonal sounds recorded with two stereo-figured contact microphones. Our Audio Craftsmen performed dynamic movements across metal, wood and motor vehicles found in the outside world to yield an abstract selection of hits, squeaks, shakes, bounces, braaams! and mechanical sound effects.
These raw recordings are made for further design and are great for adding an abstract edge to your projects.
All sounds are delivered in 24Bit 192kHz format allowing further sonic manipulation, and have been meticulously edited and tagged with extensive UCS compliant metadata for ease of use.
Interior Vibrations Vol. 3Â is the third volume in our Interior Vibrations collection.
This collection was captured by our Audio Craftsmen with a stereo pair of contact microphones, used experimentally to generate a range of unique textural sounds. It features drilling, scraping and a diversity of movement performed on various metals and a guitar.
These raw recordings are made for further design and are great for adding an abstract edge to your projects. Or try including them in horror and sci-fi projects for some unsettling sonic texture.
All sounds are delivered in 24Bit 192kHz format allowing further sonic manipulation, and have been meticulously edited and tagged with extensive UCS compliant metadata for ease of use.
The Sonomar Collection: Pianos sound effects library began with a curious question: What new and unconventional sounds can be made with a piano for use in sound design?
The result is 652 enigmatic sounds exploring the sonic properties of various pianos to create suspense and tension in your audio projects. Created by sound designer and recordist Martin Pinsonnault (Big Little Lies, Dallas Buyers Club) and the Sonomar team, the Pianos library blurs the line between music and sound design – captured at 192kHz using contact mics and an MKH-8040 for endless possibilities in pitching and processing.
Available in three unique collections, this expressive library combines the resonant nature of pianos with experimental approaches to recording, performing, and preparing this classic instrument:
Pianos – Broken contains 63 rusty, grinding, rhythmic growling piano hits for eerie roars and anxiety-inducing resonances. Includes percussive performance by Thomas Brodeur from the Sonomar team.
Pianos – Prepared features 539 textured punches, decays, chords and notes – ripe with complex harmonics, string rattles and vibrations. Created by placing objects on the strings of a piano with performance by Mingan Sauriol.
Pianos – Designed expresses the limitless possibilities of the raw recordings with pitched and processed sounds ready to drag-and-drop directly into your designs.
Each sound file is embedded with rich metadata to help you find the sounds you need with a fast and precise search. Unique descriptions of each recording encompass both literal sonic qualities as well as the images they invoke to enhance your creative workflow. Advanced metadata fields include translated French descriptions and additional info to ensure compatibility across any database search platform such as Soundminer, BaseHead, Netmix, Workspace (Pro Tools), Find Tool (Media Composer), Media Bay (Nuendo), Reaper, Adobe Premiere, and beyond.
With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.
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.
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.
