Home Sound Effects Fruit bats
$35
A mini library of Maldivian fruit bats (aka flying foxes) vocalising and screaming their soul out during the early hours. The sound is a very distinct scream captured in 96kHz mostly with Sennheiser 8060 shotgun fully extended and pointed at the source. In the SoundCloud preview, you can hear sound pitched down by 3 octaves, which is quite terrifying.
The recording was done on an island, few takes have background noise of the ocean, which was lowered by applying EQ and RX9. These are included as separate files along with the originals.
Hi, I’m Andrei Leskovski, UK based sound recordist primarily working in the automotive sector occasionally venturing into the sound effects world.
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.
