Mechanical Sound Effects

  • All files are recorded 32bit, 192 kHz, with RØDE NTG1, RØDELink Lav and Shure VP88 microphones, Sound Devices MixPre-6 II recorder. Library contains wav files of driving and exterior foley, mechanical and electrical sounds.

  • Nuts and Bolts contains a huge array of DIY and construction themed sound effects featuring tools that are used by tradesmen such as hammers, saws, chisels and spanners, as well as several other miscellaneous tools such as brushes, tape, filler guns and of course, nuts, bolts and screws.

    As well as hand-operated tools, Nuts and Bolts gives you several power tool sound effects being operated at different intensity levels. All of the sounds in this library have been recorded in context, meaning that they reflect how you would actually use the tools, not just how they sound in a controlled studio environment. We recorded close, distant and far recordings to capture natural reverb, giving you the maximum flexibility when searching for the right sound for your projects. We also recorded dropping effects for most of the tools.

    Nuts and Bolts contains a total of 145 files (with lots of variations per file) including a designed folder of 10 sounds. This library gives you everything you need to create compelling DIY and construction soundscapes, ideal for use in a range of sound design applications including building sites, mechanics garages, joinery, metalwork workshops, painting, decorating, and demolition based scenes. All sounds have been recorded in 24bit 96khz, and have been carefully edited so that you can easily drop them into your project timeline and get working right away.

    Here are the included folders:

    Power Tools: Lovely and disturbing drills, saws and electric sanders, perfect for becoming a noisy neighbor.

    Hammers and Mallets: Hitting and dropping things as hard as possible makes a lovely sound, great for building trailer impacts.

  • Adaptive Triggers is a sound library focused on the unique haptic mechanics of the PlayStation DualSense game controller. At the heart of this collection are detailed recordings of the controller’s adaptive triggers and rumble features, captured to showcase a range of mechanical and tactile sounds.

    To generate these sounds, custom trigger behaviors were programmed using reWASD mapping and DualSenseX controller software. This allowed for the creation of varied press patterns, resistance levels, and haptic feedback combinations. We created a wide range of sounds: from gritty, grinding trigger pulls to rhythmic press sequences, mechanical clicks, and deep rumbles. These sounds were captured using a Sennheiser MKH 8050 microphone paired with a Zoom F6 recorder, ensuring ultra-clean recordings with extended high-frequency detail—ideal for pitch manipulation.

    The result is a versatile set of controller-based source material, perfect for creating sci-fi weapon reloads or trigger pulls, futuristic interface interactions, robotic mechanisms, or experimental percussion layers for music and sound design.

    The final collection includes 150 WAV files delivered in 24-bit 192kHz format, with a total size of 668 MB. All files are fully UCS-compliant and include detailed metadata for easy integration into your workflow.

  • The Master Gun Browning M2-HB Sound Effects library is recorded using a large array of various microphone configurations, we recorded shots from several distances in an open shooting range in the Nevada Desert.

    Raw Recordings

    Our raw shots features a total of 26 channels including 12 Stereo and 2 mono sources. All of our close and mid spaced pair Microphone options can be used as two independent mono microphones. The right side of every spaced pair will have more Mech than its left side counterpart.
    Every single gun has been recorded using the same gain settings on the same recorders, and we have level matched each microphone option between the same calibers so your 50ft microphones will be the same or similar across all libraries that share the same calibers. This makes mixing large amounts of weapons easier as the loudness and character of each gun is predictable.

    Our foley features a total of 4 audio channels with 1 Stereo and 2 mono sources, including the Sanken CO-100k which captures frequencies above 100kHz for extreme pitch shifting workflows.

    Designed Mixes

    Created from the ground up we’ve designed a collection of game-ready mixes for your next project. If you are creating your own custom weapons system and would like to use our designed mixes in your project, you can use our no-tail options which are our realistic designed mixes without our tail layers. Just drag, and drop.

    UCS compatible metadata embedded

    All files contain extensive metadata to provide you with the fastest and easiest workflow possible. Metadata can be read and processed by audio management tools. Some digital audio workstations feature an included search tool that can also read embedded metadata.
