A Journey with Sound
Fiat 126 is a tiny car designed in the early 1970s to replace the classic Fiat 500. It was the most popular car in Poland from the late 1970s until the late 1990s. The idiosyncratic sound of its two cylinder, 0.65 Litre engine became an icon of the Polish everyday life. Fiat 126 was also common in Italy and Cuba.
This library contains all basic sounds this car can make, like driving at various speeds on tarmac and dirt roads, pass-bys and parking. Then there’s foley sounds of all the switches, opening doors etc. Don’t miss the particularly rich sound of the cold start of the aged engine.
The car we recorded was made in 1999. All its sounds are relevant for cars produced between 1994 and 2000. Earlier versions did not have the electronic starter and they wouldn’t beep when the choke was open. Cars made until about 1985 had a different dashboard so some of their switches would sound different (compare pictures for reference). The engine (and its sound) however was the same from the early 1970s until the end of production in 2000.

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.
