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:
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!
In the summer of 2021 I spent about a month in Seattle and did a lot of field recording. One of the most successful sessions was a round trip to Winslow on the Washington State Ferry. The ship is huge and just about everything vibrates sympathetically with the engine pulse. This library includes all of those vibration recordings (Shock-mounted Sony PCM-100; 96k/24bit) To keep things interesting, and somewhat on point, I’ve scoured my personal library for other unique sounds – real and synthetic – which I’ve gathered or created over 30+ years that have some sort of vibration (or vibration-adjacent) element. I was pretty liberal in how I defined it: Quantum foam (Organic or Performed) The result is an eclectic mix – vibration being the through-line.
All sounds have UCS compliant metadata.

‘BENTLEY CONTINENTAL’ by Flysound is a comprehensive sound catalog for the iconic English motor that bellows authority and oomph in every beat. 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.
The Bentley 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, pedal slams, handbraking, gear shifting, and panel buttoning galore with all the corresponding actions as this GT V8 4.0L civilized gorilla of a car peels away fast, chugs along slow, or just cruises an everyday commute. In short: Everything you’ll need, all the maneuvers manifested by our 2017 Bentley Continental, here in this suite.
The symphonic grace of our 2.3 ton all-wheel-drive beast 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 2.8 GB library of 59 files, 96kHz/24bit synced and multi-channel recordings, have comprehensive metadata tags giving full position, microphone, and action detail. The metadata has been written to adhere to the Universal Category System.
Vehicle Essentials compiles detailed foley and evolving ambisonic takes from three different cars, aimed at giving sound editors and designers alike versatility aplenty to build realistic soundscapes for videogames, movies, TV shows and other media formats.
Each foley audio file is packed with one-shot mono sound effects taken from every component present in the cars themselves, ranging from dashboard buttons, seat adjustment levers, A/C, insertion and removal of car keys, handbrakes, pedals, doors opening and closing with both interior and exterior perspectives, amongst many other detailed and varied takes, carefully recorded, edited and cleaned.
The ambisonic sound files contain long takes of each vehicle driving around or parked revving different RPMs, perfect to edit and loop each speed or idle moment to a certain scene. Given the nature of ambisonics, you can easily convert these B Format files onto any desired format (like regular stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 surround) with the correct plug-in, like RØDE’s own SoundField, which happens to be free to download. These are raw recordings where little to no hum or hiss removal techniques were applied.
With over 1500 individual sounds inside Vehicle Essentials, you’re guaranteed to find the right speed for your intended destination.

Animal Hyperrealism Vol III is a library containing sounds themed animal vocalisations, from real to designed creatures totaling more than 1700 individual sounds in 279 files.
The sounds were recorded in zoos and wildlife centers. The asset list includes but is not limited to: european red deers, monkeys, reindeers, hornbills camels, crickets, tamarins, boars, frogs, red ruffed lemurs, parrots, and many more.
The content has been recorded at 192KHz with a Sanken CO100K plus a Sennheiser 8050 for center image and a couple of Sennheiser MKH8040 for stereo image.
Part of the cheats section of the library features samples recorded at 384KHz. For these sounds an additional microphone was employed, specifically the CMPA by Avisoft-Bioacoustics which records up to 200 KHz. This microphone was used to record most of the library but the 384KHz format was preserved only where energy was found beyond 96KHz not to occupy unnecessary disk space.
All files are delivered as stereo bounce of these for mics, though in some instances an additional couple of CO100K was added to the sides.
The resulting ultrasonic spectrum is rich and allows for truly extreme manipulation of the content.
Audiobeast is proud to present our second sample library; the only library of its kind to focus entirely on weapons being fired in urban environments! For this recording session we were given access to a military training site known as a FIBUA (Fighting In Built-Up Area) consisting of streets with a variety of buildings, vehicles, and exclusive permission to fire weapons in several locations. Pictures of the street and gas station locations and firing points are included.
The aim of this library was to offer the slapback type tails needed for gun sound design for convincing city scenes in film, games and tv production. It’s always been difficult to find gun recordings in a city environment so we hope this library helps sound people everywhere.
This Library contains over 3 GBs of weapons being fired in multiple urban environments, a street, outside of a gas station and inside of a tower block. 218 WAV files of single shots, bursts and many with multiple takes, all recorded at 96 khz 24 bit, with heaps of information on microphones used and distance from the firearms.
Various distances were captured, from the DPA4062 on the guns themselves, to the distant other end of the street 100 metres away. To add, some mics were positioned around corners, a nearby graveyard, through walls and in armored vehicles to capture a variety of perspectives.
Minimal cleanup on the recordings was carried out very carefully so as not to introduce any artefacts into the recordings, they are presented as raw as possible.
If you need a wider selection of interior gun recordings please check out our first library – The London Warehouse Firearms library
Florida Thunder by Eric Berzins contains 111 distinct wav files with over 200 dry thunderclaps and over 300 thunderclaps with rain.

All files have been meticulously edited and cleaned, and have embedded UCS-compliant Soundminer metadata.
Animal Hyperrealism Vol I is a library containing sounds themed animal vocalisations, from real to designed creatures totaling more than 1300 individual sounds in 290 files.
The sounds were partly recorded with animals trained for media production, partly recorded in zoos and wildlife centers. The asset list includes but is not limited to: african lions, bengal tigers, horses, donkeys, cows, exotic birds, owls, bobcats, pumas, dromedaries, wolves, dogs, geese, lemurs, gibbons and many more.
All the content has been recorded at 192KHz with a Sanken CO100K plus a Sennheiser 8050 for center image and a couple of Sennheiser MKH8040 for stereo image. All files are delivered as stereo bounce of these four mics, though in some instances an additional couple of CO100K was added to the sides.
The resulting ultrasonic spectrum is rich and allows for truly extreme manipulation of the content.

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.
