  • Aircraft - Jet/Propeller Plane Sound Effects Plane and Train Passes and Bys Play Track 111 sounds included, 98 mins total $10

    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. Its diverse range of recordings, coupled with precise metadata and technical precision, makes it an indispensable tool for enriching any audio project.

  • Train Sound Effects Train Life 2 Play Track 33 sounds included, 80 mins total $35

    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.

    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.
