‘CHEVROLET CAMARO’ by Flysound is a comprehensive sound catalog for the American high-performance muscle car. 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 5th gen Chevy Camaro, 2012 model, 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 Camaro peels away fast, chugs along slow, or just cruises an everyday commute. In short: Everything you’ll need, all the maneuvers manifested by the Camaro, here in this suite. The 6.2L LSA V8 engine never sounded so good. Hear the character of this punchy speed demon ‘pony car’, and in case you didn’t know, ‘LSA’ is GM’s acronym for ‘Loud Stupendous Acceleration’, need we say any more?
The symphonic grace of our growler 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. The metadata has been written to adhere to the Universal Category System.
Trains recorded in Europe: Palermo, Napoli, Rome, Milan, Istanbul, Copenhagen, Malmö, Aarhus and others and towns and areas.
Recordings made since 2019 until 2022, so also during Covid’s time; has been a long process of recording, editing and efforts but there is so much interesting sound source for sound design.
There are trains hi-speed, steam train, trams (so differents in each specific town), vox futz with local announcements and crowds.
Airports & Planes is 120 minutes/3.90 Gb of ambiance recordings from a variety of international airports around the world, as well as airplane interiors. 48 separate files – recorded in 24bit/96kHz A-B stereo. All sounds are UCS-compatible
Airport & Planes was recorded between 2015-2018, in airports from Rome to Qatar, and in a variety of large capacity commercial passenger craft.
It presents modern air travel from the passenger perspective, covering everything from airport shopping areas and security checks, to
taxiing, takeoff, cruising and landing – with and without passenger walla, rummaging with luggage compartments and seat belt buckles.
It was all recorded stealth style, but nevertheless delivers lots of different perspectives and variation. Room tones from airplane interiors
come in different timbres (read: flavors of background noise), ranging from the tonally dry and flat, to rumbling and wheezing.
You will also find spoken announcements in various languages from English to Japanese; in both airports and onboard planes.
The characteristic bell or ping accompanying announcements in flight is also included, in two different versions:
One was isolated from an actual recording, while the other was synthesized to match the first, but sounding cleaner.
As a tasty little bonus, I’m throwing in a couple interiors from a bona-fide airliner lavatory.
All in all, lots of suitcase wheels, rolling sidewalks and whooshy airplane tones.
In this library you will find sounds of planes taking off and landing and ambient sounds of the airport near the runway.
These sounds were recorded as close to the airport fence as possible.
You will also find in the recordings at certain times an explosion as if it were a shot, these sounds are part of the airport system to keep birds away from the runway.
The name is bird scarer with gas cannon.
These sounds were all recorded with the stereo microphone Audio-Technica BP4025.
After working these sounds in post production, this library comes with 28 incredible airport ambient sounds.
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.

Racing Citröen C1 Pass-By compiles around 40 minutes of modified Citröen C1 (2008) vehicles racing at a private event, with little to no crowd conversations or unnecessary background noise, aside from the speaker commenting on the race itself in Portuguese. Recorded at two distinct locations, this library features long takes at the finish line and on the tightest corner of the race track, capturing plenty of engine revving, drifting, and vehicles driving off into the distance. These recordings are perfect for media scenes set in these settings or for creative sound design, as they were recorded just 5 meters from the vehicles themselves.
This sound library is available in both Ambisonics FuMa (B Format) and Stereo (Binaural) formats.
TRAIN LIFE is a detailed and in-depth collection of various Exterior Freight, Passenger Trains, and Railroad Ambiences.
Rumbling Freights roaring through the desert landscape, horns reverberating across the hills, passenger trains zipping by. The metal groan, creak, moan and clack, screech and bang of slow moving rail cars. Idles, Arrivals, Departures, Bys and a variety of Horns from Doppler to Close and Distant Perspectives.
You’ll also find a few old Electric Trains, a collection of Ambiences from Harbor Ports, Desert, and Railroad Yards, and Semi-Trucks rattling across the tracks.

METADATA
A great deal of time and effort went into the mastering of this library so the files can easily be dropped into any project. Very detailed Metadata has been provided so that all of the sounds are easily accessible. Photos have been embedded with each file to help out. UCS compliant, markers have been placed where applicable to make for quick navigation.
The Story to Train Life
The first Trains I recorded were while traveling around Portland, Oregon. I was camping along the Columbia River Gorge not too far from the tracks and throughout the night I would constantly hear the rumble vibrating through the ground and the long Horns echoing and reverberating across the Mountains. A few days later I was hanging out by the Willamette River under the St. Johns Bridge and was fortunate enough to come across a Freight Train going through an hour-long process of idling and connecting cars. Huge slack metallic bangs, slow long drawn out groans and hydraulic bursts reverberated across Industrial buildings. I was hooked.
Back home in Los Angeles, I set off on the quest to find more trains to record. After spending a number of times sitting idle and patiently waiting for hours only to come up empty, I did a bit more research. A big thanks goes out to a few Train museums and Railfans for providing much invaluable information and pointing me in the right direction. I learned the times of the local Passenger Trains and found out what areas were better for getting more isolated recordings. I discovered the major transportation routes where Freights run from downtown L.A. to the Ports near Long Beach. I drove out into the Mojave desert on multiple trips and took the back roads that lead out to Bakersfield where trains rumble through tunnels and rolling hills.
As I gathered various sounds, I made a list of what I was missing and tried to find areas where I could catch a Train doing that. It was quite the challenge! Over time I also realized that even when sitting for hours on end waiting around, there was a particular wonderful sound to the surrounding environment, and I figured it was probably worth documenting as well. Eventually it all came together into TRAIN LIFE.

Advanced Propulsion 2Â is the next evolution of our popular sound design toolkit built for creating dynamic sci-fi vehicle engines and passbys. We started by recording a diverse palette of sound, spanning sessions including fire performers, acrobatic RC helicopters, racing drones, gongs, beehives, a bullet train, and countless others. This palette was then manipulated, mangled, and morphed into a goldmine of sci-fi propulsion textures and passbys. All raw source material used to create the designed palette is included, giving you maximum flexibility and a window into the new techniques used to create our designs.
Racing Motorcycles Pass-By compiles over an hour of bikes racing at a private event, resulting in minimal crowd conversations or unnecessary background noise. Recorded at two distinct locations, this library features long takes recorded at the finish line and at the tightest corner of this particular race track, providing ample engine revving and the sound of bikes driving off into the distance. These recordings are perfect for media scenes set in these environments or for creative sound design, given that they were captured from just 5 meters away from the vehicles themselves.
This sound library is available in both Ambisonics FuMa (B Format) and Stereo (Binaural) formats.
Ambience Colors is a surprisingly diverse, vast collection of atmosphere tracks and sound effects. Pack of unforgettable memories collected over few years and places. Let’s go deeper into the highlights:
Herde of cows on a meadow | Inside a wasp nest | Bali hindu ceremonies with crowds, brahmins and announcers | Bali Village with dogs, roosters and crickets | Cambodia village around a marketplace and calm streets | Latin church mass catholic with a quiet crowd | Diffused city noise | Distant fireworks on New Year’s Eve| Inner courtyards of old Prague houses | City streets | Crowd indoors at film shooting locations, restaurants and celebrations | Crowd outdoors around beer gardens | Industrial indoors with a meat processing factory | Huge poultry farm | Industrial outdoors on a building site or foresters machinery | International airports with crowds and announcers | Nature day in jungle, forest, swamp, pond, lake and meadow | Nature night in Asia and Europe | Ocean waves | Rain inside a tent or behind windows | Heavy rain outdoors | Roomtones and quiet places | Trains passing by and inside | Craftsmen workshops with power and hand tools
The library was recorded during the flying session of a 78-cc 2-stroke engine-powered paramotor. We were lucky with the weather and with the absence of the wind.
The vehicle had 2 Dpa 4061’s microphones placed one in the back near the engine, the other channel was hidden on the lower left side. This configuration of microphones flew 4 sessions until switching to recording one microphone placed on the engine for the last two sessions. Both channels were recorded by Audio Limited A10 recorders while performing various maneuvers totaling over 37 minutes of air time. On the ground I used Sennheiser 8060 to capture vehicle’s starts, idling, passes, and landings. The library has both close and distant perspectives of flybys.Â
Tesla Model 3, long range, recorded in stereo and multichannel (MS stereo + mono – omni mic).
First 6 files in library are multichannel rec. (in sync): file 01A is mono mic positioned under the car body, near the rear motor; file 02B is stereo (MS) file positioned in the car; (following 02+04; 05+06)
You can mixed these channels at your taste.
Other recordings are: stereo (MS, NOS, AB, XY) and a few mono recordings (car body- motor).
Including: car passing by, interior, in drive, stationary, car parts, Â audio warnings, etc. (check the sound list).
Metadata tagged with equipment list and short info.
RAW recordings without any dynamic manipulation (compressors/limiters) with max. peak level: -5dBFS. Recorded with Sennheiser MKHs, LOM Usi, Primo, Rode NT1-As, Rycote blimps, Mogami cables, Sound Devices MixPre, 744T
This is a sound library of a Ferrari F8 Tributo mid-rear-engined supercar with a 3.9Â L twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 710 horsepowers, outputting 770Nm of torque. It has the most powerful Ferrari-produced engine to date (as of Jan 2022).Â
The recording was done during the vehicle’s performance test session. The majority of the onboards cover engine and exhaust sounds with Dpa 4062 installed on exhaust and Dpa 4061 placed within the engine compartment. The library has over 100 minutes of Ferrari’s onboard audio covering a wide variety of sounds when the car was on track. This includes full-speed runs, slow and cool-down laps, drifting sessions, take-offs with launch control, and donuts.Â
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 ​passby​s​,​ ​passes mid-drifting, burnouts and interesting takes attempting to send the Ferrari into drifting. 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 onboards.
Volume 2 follows the previous release of rally sportcars passing through the forest roads in europe. The 46th Rally Bohemia 2019 is a thing of the past. It was marked by the premiere of new attractive tracks and above all the duels of the two crews of the Å KODA Motorsport factory team, which made it the most dramatic Rally Bohemia in the last years.
These newly recorded sound effects providing two types of perspectives, which is Close and Distant. The Close version is recorded by two microphones, which is basicly following the cars in passbys at 10 meters from the road. The Close version provides full range sound of passing sportcar at high speed. Two microphones in XY pattern making decent stereo image with good mono compatibility. Distant version is typically the same sound sources, but recorded via other microphones located 50 meters from the road. The Distant recordings offering more wide and natural sound thanks to the ORTF pattern.

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.

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.
