The first railway line built in today’s Bulgarian lands was the Ruse – Varna line. It was opened for traffic on November 7, 1866, and its length is 223 km.
The original idea was for the line to improve transport and communications in the Ottoman Empire and to be incorporated into the international railway connecting London and Constantinople.
This never happens due to the poor execution of the road. However, the railway line was included in the Paris-Tsarigrad route, and between 1883 and 1885 the famous “Orient Express” ran along the Ruse-Varna route.
Trains from Bulgaria is a package containing a vast variety of sounds of passenger trains and freight trains.
In this package, you can find all kinds of passing trains. It also includes leaving and arriving trains from small train stations, brake squeaking and train horns.

JAGUAR F-Type R by Flysound is a comprehensive sound catalog for the British luxury roadster. 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 Jaguar, with a P575 5.0L supercharged V8 engine (423kW, 567 hp) 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 Jaguar drop-top peels away fast, chugs along slow, or just cruises an everyday commute.
In short: Everything you’ll need, all the maneuvers manifested by the Jag, here in this suite.
The symphonic grace of our X152 model 2017 Jaguar 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. It is a ~5 Gb library of 108 files. The metadata has been written to adhere to the Universal Category System.
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!
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.

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!
All files are recorded 32bit, 192 kHz, with Rode NTG1 and Shure VP88 microphones, Sound Devices MixPre-6 II recorder. Library contains wav files of driving and exterior foley, mechanical and electrical sounds.
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.

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 were recorded in the US state of Florida between 2021 and 2025. Florida has more lightning strikes than any other U.S. state! 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.
