Ambisonic Sound Effects SSL48 Fiat 500 1.2 69CV 2019 Play Track 94 sounds included, 60 mins total $100

Step into the world of the Fiat 500 1.2 2019 audio library, a meticulously crafted collection that offers a comprehensive and immersive auditory experience. This unique library captures the essence of the iconic Fiat 500, known for its compact size, retro charm, and efficient 1.2-liter engine producing 69 horsepower. The approach taken during the recordings was a multi-microphone setup, strategically placed to capture every aspect of the vehicle’s sonic personality.

Let’s start with the interior perspective. Equipped with an ambisonic interior microphone, this collection presents an intimate soundscape, placing you in the driver’s seat of the Fiat 500. Experience the subtle purr of the engine as it ignites, delivering just the right amount of power. Hear the gentle hum of the car’s components, the clicks and clacks of buttons and switches, and the comforting sound of the gearbox as it shifts seamlessly through the gears. Immerse yourself in the ambience of the cabin, capturing the vibrations, echoes, and nuances that make each journey unique.

The engine, a focal point of this library, has been meticulously recorded with a dedicated microphone, capturing the raw power and distinctive tone of the 1.2-liter engine. Experience the growl as the engine revs, the throaty roar as it accelerates, and the gentle hum as it idles. This library goes beyond the engine itself, providing additional depth with dedicated microphones on the exhaust and tire. The exhaust microphone delivers the symphony of the Fiat 500’s exhaust note, meanwhile, the tire microphone captures the distinctive sounds of the rubber meeting the road, allowing you to experience the tactile feedback of each turn, acceleration, and brake maneuver.

With this meticulously recorded multi-microphone approach, this library offers a comprehensive sonic palette for sound designers, game developers, filmmakers, and car enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re crafting realistic driving scenes, building immersive virtual worlds, or seeking inspiration for your creative projects, this library provides a rich and detailed soundscape, allowing you to bring the essence of the Fiat 500 to life with authenticity and precision.

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!

David Farmer

Sound designer:
Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies

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!

Charles Deenen

Director, Digital - Source Sound Inc.

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!
