There are trains hi-speed, steam train, trams (so differents in each specific town), vox futz with local announcements and crowds.

We recorded at various train stations across Germany to capture the authentic sounds of the environment.
This library includes train interior and exterior movements and ambiences, engines idling, acceleration and deceleration, and station announcements. We also have ambiences from inside the train stations, standing at the platforms, and the bustling crowd walla, among other sounds.
These sound effects have been carefully curated and edited, providing a ready-to-use and royalty-free sample pack.
These samples can be used for various applications, from sound design and compositions for TV, film, and documentaries to video game development.
They are UCS compliant, with the UCS-compliant document included in the download file.
Each sample comes with embedded metadata for easy organization.

Railway Rides: Sri Lanka is a thorough collection of 67 high-quality railway-related sounds, a bulk of which were curated from a 5 hour train journey through Sri Lanka’s Coastal line from Ahangama to Colombo.
The main interior train recordings are from an S9 diesel-electric multiple unit (DMU) train, which has all the clacking-characteristics you’d expect from a less modern open windowed train.
The 67 sounds included cover all major aspects of train travel and station activity, from exterior pass-bys and the bustling platforms of Ahangama and Colombo station, to the clattering and rocking interiors of the train itself at various speeds and stages in the journey. File lengths range from 6 second pass-by’s to lengthy 14 minute interiors.
Each sound has been precisely edited and labelled to represent the specific speed, dynamics and stage of the journey to allow for easier cutting in the edit. Some sounds are also labelled with differing levels of walla and background chatter, some having clearly localised dialogues with others being indistinct or at times not present at all.
The library was captured using a Stereo matched pair of Clippy EM272Z1 mics into a Zoom F3 recorder recorded at 96khz/32bit and is available at 96khz/24bit.
Our personal favourite sound in this library is

Simply because of the memory recording this sound and how (scarily) close I was able to get to the train and the track. The power and sound I felt when stood by the tracks is truly captured in the recording!

This audio collection offers a library of aircraft and train passes and bys (and a random helicopter) , captured over two nights in my garden which is under the London Gatwick Airport flighpath and a nearby railway line. Designed for professionals seeking authentic and high-fidelity audio, this collection provides a rich tapestry of sonic experiences.
Aircraft Recordings:
Commercial Jet Traffic: Recorded overnight under the Gatwick flight path at night to minimize extraneous noise, these recordings capture the distinct sounds of various commercial jetliners operating at approximately 5,000 feet. The collection encompasses a range of aircraft types, offering a nuanced perspective on the acoustic signatures of modern aviation.
Private and Light Aircraft: Complementing the commercial jet recordings, this mini collection also features a variety of smaller private jets and a propeller plane operating around 2,500 feet. These recordings provide valuable insight into the sonic characteristics of lighter aircraft, further diversifying the collection’s offerings.
Altitude Data: Each aircraft recording is accompanied by approx altitude data, verified by a reliable flight tracking application. This metadata adds another layer of information for sound designers and editors, enabling them to select recordings that accurately reflect specific aircraft types and flight operations.
Train Recordings:
Commuter Train Variety: Captured approximately 20 feet from the railway line, these recordings showcase the diverse soundscape of commuter rail traffic. The collection features an array of train types, each with unique sonic characteristics defined by varying speeds, weights, and configurations. This diversity ensures that sound professionals have access to a comprehensive palette of authentic train sounds. For these I used an Audio-Technica BP4025 microphone renowned for its ability to capture realistic and immersive soundscapes, these recordings transport listeners to the heart of the railway environment. The microphone placement, carefully chosen to optimize sonic clarity and detail, ensures that each recording faithfully represents the dynamic energy of passing trains.
Technical Excellence:
Professional-Grade Equipment: All recordings were captured using state-of-the-art equipment, including Zoom H2n (for the overnight recordings) and F3 recorders,
This meticulously crafted collection provides an invaluable resource for sound designers, filmmakers, game developers, and any creative professional seeking authentic and high-quality aircraft and train audio.

I’ve got a thing for recording Trains and hanging out by Railroad Tracks so I decided why not do another mini Train Library. Much like with my first Train library, Train Life, Freights were the main focus. Included are a variety of Exterior Slow, Medium, and Fast Trains, some solo Locomotive Bys, Idling, Squealing, along with Train Horns from different perspectives. Mic perspectives varied from up Close and Medium, and then some distant with the Horns. Locations were in the High Desert of California and a couple of Train Stations that get a lot of Freights passing through.

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.

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.
