Finalist – Best Sound Effects Libary – Indie Sound Awards 2022
The sound ‘Kind Creature’ made with the V7 library won the British Sound of the Year Award presented by The Museum Of Sound and The New BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
Custom made sounds made with the V7 are used in the scores for Control, Wolfenstein and newer projects by award winning game composer Martin Stig Andersen.
V7 is a home-built metal spring sound-tool made from an old measurement-unit found at a flea market. Now – disassembled, rebuilt and mounted amongst other things with a 33 foot long Giant Spring that connects the measurement box to an open metal staircase and creates a natural spring reverb.
I Played with a bow, friction rubber clubs, metal slides, whipped cream gas cartridges and a souvenir Eiffel Tower.
The result is a unique sound effect library of massive metallic hits, gongs, scrapes, squeaks, friction, rumbles and rattles. From subtle, soft squeaks and harsh, brutal metal shrieks to long and deep musical metal moans.
V7 is recorded with an Ehrlund EHR-E microphone placed inside the metal box. All files are in 96 kHz/24 bit and contains the original acoustic recordings.

Metallitronic is sound designer Nathan Moody’s latest collection of intense textures, a library of nearly three hours’ worth of metallic membranes and objects excited by electronic signals.
Metallitronic was created using advanced synthesis techniques played back through various transducers into cymbals, gongs, bowls, steel plates, prefab metal buildings, and other resonant metallic objects, close-miked in stereo with extended-frequency-range microphones. This collection radically expands a sound designer’s palette of stressed-metal sounds, horror and tension elements, crystalline creaks and groans, unsettling background atmospheres, rattling vehicular interiors, creature sound sweeteners, the sound of massive machinery, earth-shaking rumbles, and stochastic, complex rhythms.
Some textures let the complex synthesizer textures shine through – intense on their own, even if they weren’t amplified through metal – but the primary focus is on metallic drones, hits, pings, stresses, groans, wails, resonances, rattles, and unique timbres that can be layered into almost any project. The scale of the sounds ranges from detailed to overwhelmingly massive. The sounds invite aggressive filtering and extreme pitch shifting.
Every sound is recorded in stereo at 24 bits, 192 kHz, and many sounds have ultrasonic frequencies. This library includes nearly three hours of recordings, all fully tagged with metadata. Multiple articulations are ganged into single files for convenience and organization.
Dumpster Truck (Skiploader) delivers the sounds of a DAF CF 75.310 mid-size truck that delivers open steel containers. They are mostly used to collect debris, junk or discarded furnishings. Once these containers filled up, the truck picks them up again to bring them to the suburban garbage dump.
The library delivers 103 files in 5 categories:
Container Handling, Driving Activities, Engine, Foley and Props, Underneath Truck
This includes sounds of container dumps, noises from load chains and their locking mechanisms as well as sound from the truck itself (interior, door slaps, air pressure system, wheel noises, 7.5l 310hp diesel engine, exhaust and much more).
The Magic Chimes SFX Library contains a wide variety of professional mark tree (wind chime) and bell tree sound effect recordings. These include glissandos, scales, single notes, steadies, shaking, and more.
The Character Pack 01: Humanoid contains nearly 5 hours (2338 files) of high quality body (falls, impacts & lands), multiple surface type texture layers, footsteps, armour movements and 4 types of vocalisation sets.
Everything needed to bring a humanoid (Human male, Goblin, Ogre & Skeleton) character to life.
The assets have been designed for use with computer game media that demands high asset variations, however this pack is suited for all forms of audio media.
The included basic construction kit / original recordings enables further details to be created for more granular focus.
All assets have been recorded & produced at 96kHz/24bit.
This pack contains 7 of our humanoid related individual SFX mini packs (Footstep, Body, Armour & 4 vocal sets)

On a recording trip to the smaller Danish port town Struer, I came across an abandoned empty oil tank. Inside I found two giant wires attached to the floor and the ceiling of the tank, almost like a huge 2 stringed double bass. I’m telling you the reverb in there was longer than the Eiffel Tower on a cloudless day !
On the outside this was just an empty abandoned building, but it turned out it was not empty at all because it was full of sound and a few dead birds. I’m glad I was curious enough to go inside for a closer investigation and not just pass by.
After several hours of concentrated recording, it was nice to get my ears back out in dry air. I’m happy there are no open sends to Valhalla in real life but experiencing the eternal resonance on the low frequencies from the wires was absolutely amazing.
Abandoned Oil Tank was recorded with a LOM basic Ucho stereo pair, a Zoom H6 and the LOM Geofon. All files are in 96 kHz/24 bit and contain the original recordings.
The result is a unique sound effect library including balloon pop impulse responses from a truly unique location that very recently became even more unique since word says that the oil tank is no more and has abandoned this world.
327 individual sounds – all tagged with Universal Category System (UCS) metadata.
Church bells from Middle Ages to early 20th century. European traditional bells made in bronze. Various churches, bells and sound perspectives. From near field recordings recorded in church towers to far field recordings – soundscapes of bells in countryside/city, small town, villages…
Maritime bells included (old sailing/steamships from the 19th century). Recorded in the Museum of Maritime History.
Finest equipment used like: AKG, Sennheiser,…mics, Sound Devices recorder/mixer. (Few recording captured in mono with dynamic mic-high sound pressure/level)
Metadata tagged with list of equipment and approximate age of bells.

Recorded at an old WWII-era bunker just outside Halifax, Nova Scotia, now derelict and covered in rust.
These recordings were a happy accident, discovered on the way to record something else. This large, heavy steel door has been rusting since wartime, and when I noticed it I immediately knew it would have a unique sonic character. When moved, it produces interesting almost musical tones, rich with harmonics and ripe for processing.
This library includes a variety of sounds generated by interacting with the door in different ways (scraping, punching, and moving at various speeds).
Hear the charming sounds of the 238 wind chimes. The richness of the harmonics helps to create a serene, meditative, dramatic or eerie atmosphere. Be it magic, a town fair, or just a family house porch, these will add that fresh perspective to build character and anticipation!
Wind Chimes pack comes with 238 organic recordings of tinkle, clang, hit, rattle, knock, grab, release, put down, shake, scrape, impact, plink, silence, ring, release actions from different perspectives.
These high-resolution sound files are in 96kHz – 24bit stereo format and includes various techniques, creative takes and loopable sounds.
Action: Tinkle, clang, hit, shimmer, rattle, knock, grab, release, put down, shake, scrape, impact, plink, silence, release, ring
Style: Light, regular, heavy, strong, windy, breezy, tonal, musical, single, short, medium, long, whoosh, flow
Material: Wood, metal, copper, iron, shells, bamboo, with/out bells, thick, thin, long, short, big, small
These meticulously recorded sounds have both practical usability and room for further sound design. Includes detailed and easy-to-navigate metadata and UCS compatibility. Recorded with Sennheiser MKH 8040 stereo pair and Zoom F3, and the usual Vadi Sound craft and attention to detail.
Find the true sound of it with Vadi Sound Library.
What else you may need
You may also want to check out our Cinematic Whooshes & Transitions for 294 designed sounds of transitions and whooshes, including swipes, futuristic sci-fi sounds, tonal, pass by, power ups/ downs, movement, machine, and more.
City Perspectives is another excellent choice with 56 loopable high-quality urban ambiences. From busy intersections to back streets, vibrant parks to rooftops, 3 hours of city ambiences will serve as ideal background tracks.
This Double Bass & Violin sound effects library not only includes weird low double bass bow strokes, stabs, vibrating strings, drones, harsh harmonics, string scrapes, bow stroke voices, and bright violin tones and screams. It also includes the opportunity to open up a whole new set of sonic adventures.
Why? All double bass sounds have been recorded at 192K/24 bit, with an amazing stereo set of close up Sanken CO100K microphones, and a stereo set of Sennheiser Mkh 8020 microphones, capturing low end and room. All violin sounds have been recorded with a single Sanken CO100K microphone.
Common for all Sanken files is that you're able to either extreme time stretch/time compress, or pitch up and down the files, and by this discover a whole new world of sounds – without adding nasty degenerating artifacts or muffling the sound. The ultra-high frequency range of the Sanken microphones does really make a great difference!
Recordings these sounds was a pure blast. The amount of versatile organic material in the set is great. The bass instrument has been played in a very innovative way, using both regular bow on strings and bass body, but also finger cymbals attached to specific places for a vibrating ring or rattle noise, creating some really other-worldly sound effects, and almost vocal-like patterns.
While the double bass material produces a massive low end without any further processing, the violin recordings really benefit from being stretched and pitched. This makes all the non-audible bright sounds captured by the Sanken microphones come through.
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.
