Scene Shop is a collection of high quality recordings of industrial machinery used in scenic construction workshops. Some machinery are in good condition, others not so much so… expect lots of metal rattling!
Machinery are not recorded during active use (not during wood cutting for example) so the recordings are very clean and lend themselves well to being used for large elevators, lifts, automatic doors and generally metal machinery of any kind and size.
There are multiple takes for most of the sounds, all complete with startup, steady phase, and shutdown.
This collection is a mixture of stereo and mono, very sensitive microphones able to pickup beyond 20khz were used, so it was produced and post-produced at 192khz (these machines are already very big, but slowed down they sound even bigger!)
There are also some extra sounds such as the switches of the machinery, bursts of compressed air, large metal doors and others.
Immerse yourself in the distinctive sounds of the Abandoned Trailer Foley, a meticulously curated sound effects library. Crafted for professionals in film, gaming, and multimedia, this collection captures the essence of an abandoned trailer with its rustic and eerie sounds.
Bring a unique and authentic touch to your audio projects with the Abandoned Trailer Foley. Ideal for sound designers and audio professionals seeking to add depth and realism to their work.

User Interface sound effects galore: 96 minutes / 1.03 GB of mechanical and synthesized user interface sound effects.
1719 sounds in 287 separate files – recorded in 24bit/96kHz. All sounds are UCS-compatible.
User Interface is a collection of mechanical and synthesized sounds for designing UI sounds. With over 1700 sounds in 287 files, there are tons of different sounds, with several takes or variations of each.
The guiding principle behind the collection is to allow sound designers to combine these two types of sounds into something that has the edge from synthesis, and the authenticity or “body” of physical objects.
About half the sounds come from an array of physical objects struck, scraped, and otherwise manipulated, in front of a Sennheiser MKH 40 microphone. Covered in these recordings are everything from simple clicks and clacks, to more complex scrapes, shakes and rattles. The various materials used ensured good timbral variation too, ranging from overtone-rich, to more dull tonal characteristics.
The other half come from an analog modular synth, with a little bit of post-processing here and there. Many of these sounds have a slightly “retro” feel to them; they have a certain rawness of timbre. I feel this sets User Interface apart from the many polished or glossy sounding UI sound effects out there.
During the design phase, another main principle was to produce sounds for a variety of user interactions. There are sounds for button presses and activations, for turning dials or moving faders. Additionally, there are also sounds to convey some sort of message to the user, such as alerts to errors or success.
Then there are the sounds that signal data being transmitted or processed (the abstract version of audible read/write cycles on old mechanical drives, perhaps). Not very realistic nowadays, but you can’t transmit data in a film or game without cool sounds, right?
Finally, and in the same vein, I also included a number of sounds in the “garbled audio communications” category. Nothing sets the scene for a tech-laden environment like unintelligible radio-voices!

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.
