Find sounds from 100s of different cars, recorded and curated by some of the world’s finest sound recordists. The recordings include engine sounds, passbys, constant driving at different speeds, foley-type sounds such as car doors and windows opening and closing, braking, skidding and spinning and much more.
Curated from an extensive vehicle workup of a 2001 Saleen Mustang from The Odyssey Collection by Academy Award®-winners Mark Mangini & Richard L. Anderson, this library includes a wide variety of powerful car recordings from different angles, distances, speeds, and perspectives.
What is a workup? A workup is a thorough series of recordings of the same subject from many different perspectives. Having these options at your fingertips helps to quickly and intuitively cut sound effects for a scene without needing to reuse or process sounds to make them fit the picture.
Streamline your sound editing workflow with expertly recorded car sound effects from the 2001 Saleen Mustang including ignition, engine revving, idling, driving sequences in forward and reverse on various terrains, pass bys, tire skids, door and trunk open and close, horn honks, engine rumbles, and more.
This workup also includes a selection of multi-mono recordings, which offers the choice of different mic positions from the same recording. And each sound is embedded with rich, descriptive metadata for lightning-fast, pinpoint search results.
Vehicle Workup: 2001 Saleen Mustang is also included in Pro Sound Effects’ CORE: Standard.

JAGUAR F-Type R by Flysound is a comprehensive sound catalog for the British luxury roadster. The suite of recordings is a systematic compilation authored by a dedicated full service post-production team, deploying Neumann U87s, Sennheiser MKH416s, Sound Devices 788Ts, Aaton Cantar X-2s and further top quality recording, editing, sound design, and mixing equipment.Â
The Jaguar, with a P575 5.0L supercharged V8 engine (423kW, 567 hp) and its professional driver have been tracked from a myriad of angles and distances, both external and onboard, from the moment the doors close and a seat belt fastens, right down the gamut of revs, take-offs, turns, passes-by, skids, pedal slams, handbraking, gear shifting, and panel buttoning galore with all the corresponding actions as the Jaguar drop-top peels away fast, chugs along slow, or just cruises an everyday commute.
In short: Everything you’ll need, all the maneuvers manifested by the Jag, here in this suite.
The symphonic grace of our X152 model 2017 Jaguar in motion was captured with orchestra-grade studio equipment and field kit, by professionals, for professionals, ready to be used as authentic sound, ready to be arranged into seamless edits and proper 5.1 or Atmos post-production. The 96kHz/24bit synced and multi-channel recordings have comprehensive metadata tags giving full position, microphone, and action detail. It is a ~5 Gb library of 108 files. The metadata has been written to adhere to the Universal Category System.
This is a sound library of an American 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 race sports muscle car, with a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 engine that produces 777 horsepowers.
The car has the following modifications:Â
Ported throttle body, ported supercharger, water/methanol injection system, upgraded air intake system, bespoke exhaust line, shorter springs. This results in an additional 127 bhp from a standard of 650.
The recording was done during the vehicle’s performance test session. The car was rigged with 3 DPA 4062’s for exhaust sound and 3 DPA 4061’s for the engine’s audio and a stereo array of DPA 4060’s for the interior.
The library has over 100 minutes of onboard audio covering a wide variety of sounds. This includes full-speed runs, slow and cool-down laps, drifting sessions, take-offs with launch control, arrival and takeoffs.
Passbys were captured by both stereo and mono field-based setups yielding a wide variety of sounds such as takeoffs, full, medium and slow speed passbys, passes mid-drifting and burnouts. Library also contains some natural tyre squealing and the sound of the car passing over the curbs at high speed.
The car also had a stereo setup installed within the interior produced limiting results due to frequent radio chatter. What was usable is edited alongside the onboard. Enjoy!
The GAZ-24 Volga 1985 is Flysound’s offering to the retro gods, comprising 135 sound files of pure nostalgic brilliance, recorded here in present day audio heaven. We took our superannuated Soviet monster out of retirement, fuelling her up and revving her for one more day of glory on the track.
Our beloved GAZ-24 is recorded on Neumann U 87 studio mics positioned above the engine, and the interior is captured in quadraphonic surround sound. File size total is 7.5 GB. The library comprises 283 minutes of absolutely clean recording.
This package is perfect for any project covering the Soviet era that involves cars. This car, the USSR equivalent of a Cadillac or (mildly more modest) Mustang, was an instant classic of the time, and an absolute legend of a nostalgia today. The car has been kept in good condition since the fall of communism, and it has finally been immortalised digitally for resynthesis into period projects. The library also works authentically for some Western European 20th century sounds, as GAZ exported this model to the Benelux countries under the Volga Scaldia brand.
The library covers the gamut of everything this car is designed to do; starting, taking off, braking, stopping, cruising, turning and manoeuvres, at different speeds and from different microphone positions. The files include new and improved metadata, and this library is suitable for projects of any complexity.
A lite and mixed version of this suite is also included, comprising 18 authentic stereo files 24 bit/48 kHz, designed, mixed, and studio packaged on best-of-breed equipment for simpler tasks which would have a preference for a package of ready made stock sounds of the GAZ-24 VOLGA.

Flysound presents: VEHICLE PACK. Four individual sound libraries, of three cars and a bike. First, there is the BMW X5, then the Mini Cooper, then a Land Rover, and on to two wheels, Ducati. The libraries complement each other to provide the road symphony your project might require. All together under one click, vroom vroom! Enjoy.
Flysound‘s finest, top grade recordings, of four fabulous marvels of mobility. Using studio-grade equipment, we recorded our vehicles on-site, with instantaneous position adjustment to capture the right sounds at the right times.

To cut to the chase, here are the autos:
The BMW X5M, a 750 horsepower highly-tuned SUV which is sporty and at the same time spacious, sturdy, safe and cosy for family moments; we’ve recorded it across all its moods.
The Mini Cooper, a souped up city car. Very nippy and youthful, this style icon was a pleasure to record in all its fabulousness.

The Ducati Scrambler, the cafe racer model. It represents freedom on two wheels, and we’ve captured the sounds to match, both on the open road and in an autodrome.
All the libraries have a huge variety of sounds, interior, exterior, and foley content. We have paid attention to capture not only the vrooming, roaring, careening and chugging of these vehicles, but also the necessary everyday actions of the machinery, such as the closing of doors, fastening of seatbelts, clicking of levers and squeaking of seats.
Technical specs: Neumann U87’s, Neumann USM 69’s, Sound Devices 788T’s, Aaton Cantar-X2’s, Sonosax, and Sennheiser MKH416’s.

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.
