Home Sound Effects Beautiful Bells Vol 1
$109
Beautiful Bells Vol 1 contains the solo ringing of 76 swinging bells, recorded in 43 churches, cathedrals, abbeys, basilicas and chapels across France, and 15 peals of multiple bells, called plenum, with unprecedented quality. Most of the sounds were recorded inside bell towers.
Swinging bells are struck by a hanging clapper. They have a natural pitch modulation due to the Doppler effect, and a timbre modulation due to varying orientation. They produce a deep and lively sound and are mostly used to announce masses, religious holidays, weddings and funerals.
Every bell size is represented in this library, from huge bourdons (bells whose pitch are below C3) weighing several tons to small chapel bells weighing around 20 kilograms. You will find bells founded from 16th to 21st century with a great variety of timbres and tunings. The sounds are sorted by note, from D2 to F5.
By sorting the solo sounds by location, you can recreate authentic bell combinations. You also have the freedom to create any custom combination or use the sounds as instruments in musical scores.
All the sounds in this library were recorded in bell towers or as close as possible to provide great sonic precision and optimal signal-to-noise ratio.
Over 12,000 kilometers were traveled during six months to get you one of the most exhaustive swinging bell sound library ever recorded.

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.
