SUV Dirt Track Racing contains extensive sound effects of two racing SUVs (Ford F-150 2004 and Ford Explorer 2004) recorded on a speedway in Ontario, Canada. With an amazing collection of driving, revving and racing sounds in different perspectives, this library gives you that full throttle, pedal to the metal sound that you only get from genuine racing vehicles.
Our Audio Craftsmen have sourced engine sounds of the modified SUVs from interior – exterior perspectives, exhaust nodes, and engine perspectives. We also recorded sounds of the SUV’s racing each other, including high revs, drifting through gravel, pass bys, suspension sounds and much, much more.
The library also includes sounds of a driver getting inside the car, opening doors, putting on helmets and seatbelts, starting the engine, turning off the engine etc. We captured both vehicles in isolation and racing each other – driving constantly, passing by, engine idles and explosive revs.
All of the sounds were captured using either a Sanken CS-M1 or a DPA 4060, carefully edited and ready to be used straight away in your projects. They can be used to represent many different types of Racing Vehicle, SUV, Motorbike, Muscle Car due to the nature of their engines being pushed to the limit during recording.
This sound collection covers a wide range of sounds produced by this rare vintage Fire Truck from 1966, with a 8 valve V-304 engine. Besides the driving sounds there are also a lot of Foley recordings to make this vehicle come to life in any production. All in high quality 96/24 BWAV-files, recorded with high end equipment. All sounds include extensive metadata.
The recordings are multitrack. For the onboard sounds you’ll find synchronized recordings of engine (mono), exhaust (mono, and only for the driving sequences), cabin ceiling (stereo), cabin dashboard center (mono) and cargo area (mono). For the roadside recordings I used a Sennheiser MKH8070 to chase the passing vehicle.
Mind you that some sounds may sound very silent. This is to preserve the relative loudness between different perspectives. Place the different perspectives in sync on separate tracks in your DAW and adjust the balance.

Cars are everywhere in film, games, and society in general, but many sound artists lack the resources to tackle vehicle-centric projects. Whether the obstacle is finding recordings of a specific model, matching unique angles, or running out of material for the quick cuts of a high-speed chase – sound designing vehicles without the proper sonic ingredients can be a huge waste of your time and distract your audience from the story.
Developed in exclusive collaboration with Academy Award®-winning sound editors, Mark Mangini (Blade Runner 2049, Mad Max: Fury Road) and Richard L. Anderson (The Lion King, Edward Scissorhands), The Odyssey Collection: Vehicles (OV) brings you an unrivaled professional vehicle sound effects library to help cover your needs for any scene. Recorded with the invaluable resources of a Hollywood budget while creating the sound for hundreds of major feature films, OV features over 250 different vehicles – from sports cars and luxury SUVs to street bikes and military trucks – expertly captured from varied perspectives with methodical workups to streamline your workflow.
What is a workup? A workup is a thorough series of recordings of the same subject from many different perspectives, angles, and distances. To ensure you have the sounds needed for any scene, a workup of a specific vehicle provides recordings of every action the vehicle performs – both interior, exterior, and at different speeds including pass bys, engine rumble, mechanical sounds, car Foley, and more.
As the latest library in The Odyssey Collection following Odyssey Essentials (OE) and Odyssey Expanded (OX), OV presents a new approach to sound library curation – combining the comprehensive offering of a general library with the pinpoint focus of a specialty library – all while championing Odyssey’s renowned and inspiring quality, reliable breadth, intuitive organization, and cinematic character.
“This library has been an essential tool for me my entire life, and this idea of workups and vehicle recordings is a big part of its philosophy. It makes getting the job done that much more elegant, professional, and high fidelity.” – Mark Mangini
The Odyssey Collection: Vehicles is also included in Pro Sound Effects’ CORE: Pro.

Kicking off our brand-new series “Noisy Places”, TRANSPORTATION is a comprehensive ambient collection with a broad spectrum of crystal-clear vehicle recordings.
Background Vehicle Recordings
All recordings – often loopable – have been either performed from a distance or exhibit enough subtlety, atmosphere and unobtrusiveness to be perfectly suited for all kinds of background settings and applications, giving them a serene, almost naturalistic feel.
Authentic Ambience Toolkit
Build your acoustic backdrop that sounds organic and grounded while keeping the familiar human touch and making the listener more aware of their acoustic surroundings. While a good soundtrack can help in introducing a world to the audience, a believable acoustic setting completes the arrival, especially when standing on its own – one of this library's major strenghts, next to its ability to blend in with more frontal sound design and its varied line-up of motorized vehicles: On the road, rails, water and airborne with both interior ambiences and exterior recordings.
Acoustic Purity and Flexibility
TRANSPORTATION is one of the most flexible ambient libraries, thanks to its acoustic purity and isolation of targeted sounds, allowing you to design exactly what you need without any unwanted, arbitrary noise to worry about. A strong addition to your sound pool that will enhance, or perhaps even replace earlier designs.

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.
