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.
Hello, Pass by!
Traffic Pass Bys is an assortment of single and multiple generic pass bys, featuring cars, buses and motorcycles on wet and dry British roads.
Use these sounds when building your backgrounds and exterior environments. This library also lends itself to creative transitions, and further processing into unique designs.
All sounds are delivered in 24Bit 192kHz format allowing further sonic manipulation, and have been meticulously edited and tagged with extensive UCS compliant metadata for ease of use.
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.
Sprint Car Racing is a unique collection of sound effects of a sprint car driving through a speedway in Ontario, Canada. This library includes engine acceleration, drifting, high rpm revs, driving away and towards, racing other cars, slowing down, idling and much, much more. Perfect for designing those high octane, explosive, gas-guzzling engine sounds that are often needed in modern car chasing/racing scenes.
The sounds were recorded using either a Sanken CS-M1 or a DPA 4060 and were meticulously edited by our Audio Craftsmen so that you can drag them directly into your projects. They can be used to represent many different types of racing vehicles, sprint cars and motorbikes as the engine sounds are similar to high performance and tuned vehicles of other kinds.
Feed your need for speed with Sprint Car Racing!
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.
This compilation can serve as a versatile and harmonious soundscape for the road action in your project, whatever the scale of traffic, action, and nuanced context of your scenes and sequences, and taken one by one, the cars and bike libraries themselves are laid out to showcase any individual vehicle audio scenario in deep focus. 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 Land Rover Defender, a 4×4 diesel beast that is rugged and country-style, workmanlike, and at the same time elegant and very respectable.
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.
A lite and mixed version of this suite is also included, comprising authentic stereo files, 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  VEHICLE PACK

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.
