Exterior Vibrations Vol. 3 comprises textural, tonal sounds recorded with two stereo-figured contact microphones. Our Audio Craftsmen performed dynamic movements across metal, wood and motor vehicles found in the outside world to yield an abstract selection of hits, squeaks, shakes, bounces, braaams! and mechanical sound effects.
These raw recordings are made for further design and are great for adding an abstract edge to your projects.
All sounds are delivered in 24Bit 192kHz format allowing further sonic manipulation, and have been meticulously edited and tagged with extensive UCS compliant metadata for ease of use.
Help your project take off, with the recorded journey on an AirTransat flight with the pre flight, take off and landing!

The Foley Vault is home to an ever-growing collection of original Foley recordings.
Each library was captured by professional Foley Artists on our in-house Foley Stage using a Sennheiser MKH50 microphone.
These sounds were originally performed for a variety of feature and short film projects. They have now been compiled and released for you to edit and implement into your own film, game and television productions.
This sound library features incredible sound of a rotary engine screaming at 9000 rpms. Car in mostly stock form, without catalytic converter was recorded onboard with set of microphones under the hood (intake and engine perspective), on the back of the car (two exhaust perspectives) and inside the car (mic in the trunk + stereo setup on the front seats in sync with engine / exhaust). Various styles of driving were covered, from regular driving through high speed spirited driving, aggressive accelerations up to RPM ramps and slow and steady increase for looping in game audio. Engine start, idle, stepping on the gas repeatedly is also included. Last but not least, exterior passes were recorded in mono and stereo, slow by sounds, fast ones, stopping, and differenty parking maneuvers.

“Old Engines Grab Bag” is a pack of numerous old, unique and characterful engines from early 1900s. It’s a massive collection of 56GB multitrack 192kHz recordings of old tractors and stationary engines, both diesel and gasoline fueled.
The intention wasn’t to cover vehicles driving, but to get isolated and very closely recorded mechanical elements of engines and exhaust pipes as a source material for sound design. There are many starts, idles, revs, offs, RPMs variations, backfires etc. Some are heavy and large sounding, some are small and funny. Tractors were captured EXT and most of stationary engines INT, but since they are very closely recorded there is just a little amount of reverb on most of them.
Most of engines are 1 or 2 cylinders and low horse power and their RPMs are also low. Thanks to this, many of those sounds aren’t tonal and can easily be used as additional layer with other design elements. They work great for adding vintage character, designing junky or funny vehicles, crazy huge steampunk machines or engines malfunction.
Sounds were recorded using multi-mic setup: Sanken CO-100k (most of the time pointing mechanical parts), Sennheiser MKH-8060 (mainly for isolated exhaust pipe), Schoeps CMC6XT mk41/mk8 (general image) and part also with Trance Audio Inducer contact mics (adding unique mechanical perspective).
The library is delivered as multitrack 192kHz files, as well as stereo mix of all microphones. Thanks to using microphones with extended frequency range, drastic pitch changes can be applied.
All files have extensive metadata created in Soundminer, including leg picker with microphone labels.
Demo files include pitched sounds, which are not delivered with library.
Fully Universal Category System (UCS) compliant sound effects library of isolated tire skids (without any engine sounds!). This library offers detailed recordings of various drifting sounds on tarmac with both onboard and exterior microphone perspectives – 22 files, 16 min 43 sec, a total of 472mb (24bit/96khz).
The onboard recordings were captured with DPA 4060 and Sennheiser MKH 8020 microphones.
The exterior recordings have both stereo and mono perspectives and were captured with Neumann KM184 and Sennheiser MKH 8060 microphones.
Cars recorded: Porsche Taycan Turbo (2021) and Toyota GT86 (2014).
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.
