Horror Sound Effects

Scary, creepy, nasty horror sound effects and gore sounds

  • The Geophonic Instruments Bundle comprises three libraries of low, moody tones produced by the unusual interaction between musical instruments and the Lom Geofón.

    This unique process enabled the capture of each instrument’s super low frequencies – going all the way down to 10 Hz. Our Audio Craftsmen then designed these recordings to accentuate the rich, low resonances of each sound, resulting in an idiosyncratic, tonal quality.

    Inside this bundle is a creative assortment of low frequency instrument noises, including hits, rumbles, scrapes, blowings, taps, booms, bowings and other abstract sounds – all with a foundational musical element.

    Because of its intense low frequency energy, the Geophonic Instrument Bundle is perfect for sci-fi, horror and mystery projects. It will also lend itself well to Film, TV and Game productions across a variety of genres. Add a dark, timbral edge to your projects with these unique sounds!

    All sounds included were carefully captured and meticulously edited for maximum sonic quality, enabling you to drop each sample into your projects with no need for further enhancement or modification.

    The entire bundle is delivered at 24Bit/192kHz, and tagged with extensive Metadata.
