Here’s a collection of eerie sounds for your next horror/sci-fi/ambient project. Everything from low rumbling and rattling, to high pitched, harmonics-laden screams; long, drawn-out sounds and short dings and twangs. Of course they sound really good when pitched down, too (the last 3 sounds in the preview are shifted down to quarter speed)!
The Spring Box is an old 19 inch rack enclosure, which I gutted and fitted with two springs from a genuine Luxo lamp (so you know it’s good). I have been having fun bowing and scraping this with a cello bow, as well as striking it with various other objects. Some sounds are recorded acoustically, while others were done with contact mics.

Have you ever heard a material that sounds like nothing else? Listen to the magical timbre of obsidian needles. Obsidian is a volcanic stone that, in very rare places on earth, solidifies into needle shape that produces a very unique sound, purer than metal and smoother than glass.
I collected hundreds of these needles and I built 3 chimes with the needles that sounded best. Sound effects were recorded both with Sanken CO-100K and Sennheiser MKH 8040. All recordings and processed sounds contain a lot of ultrasonic frequencies, thus can be pitched with a great flexibility.
Have a listen to the unheard and create magic, ice, glass or any new sound effect you want.
• Dozens of chime recordings
• 200 needles individually sampled
• 40 ready-to-use processed sound effects
• 192 KHz/24 bit
• Metadata UCS-compliant
As a sound editor, I always found it frustrating when cutting cellphone ringtones and beeps for movies or TV shows. Firstly, we are unable to use copyrighted tunes, often leading us to resort to old 90s cellphone ringtones. Secondly, the challenge lies in ensuring that the beeps and ringtones are not overly intrusive while still being easily recognizable.
To address these issues, I developed the “Telephones and Computers Survival Toolkit” sound effects library. This comprehensive collection includes 1221 sound effects, encompassing mouse clicks and movements, USB drive insert/eject sounds, power-up chords, old-school beeps, animation sounds, cellphone ringtones, cellphone beeps, haptics, etc. Additionally, some cellphone ringtones are organized in patterns, allowing users to mix pattern “stems” and create new variations of ringtones.
All sound effects are provided at 48kHz/24-bit, in raw or “full bandwidth” format. This enables users to modify the sounds using their preferred plugins.
Regarding the provided demo files on SoundCloud:
The sound effects have intentionally been altered to give listeners a realistic sense of how they would sound in a real-life situation.
CRRRACK!!!

This sound FX library is part of a series of recordings available:
This classic vehicle is drawn by two horses and produces mostly clank and rattle of wood and metal. You can also hear some leather creaks and the horses’ hooves and breaths. Occasionally the driver beatboxes some cues – clucking, smacking, monosyllables.
Some of the files contain solely the rattle of the rolling carriage but no horses – these can be used for sound designing any old vehicle on a bumpy road.
This selection of onboard sounds contains a variety of speeds, horse gaits and road surfaces. They have been recorded with the Sennheiser Ambeo VR Mic, and, simultaneously, with two stereo sets. For each recording you get 10 channels:
– ambiX B-format (4 channels)
– Stereo XY (Audio-Technica BP4025)
– Wide Stereo (DPA 4060) captured at the carriage’s chassis
– Stereo Mix of all of the above
The ambiX B-format files are ready to be encoded into all spatial sound setups: like 5.1, 7.1, 4.0, VR 360 degree experience, and more.
The library is UCS compliant.

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.
