Home Sound Effects Industry – Factory Ambiences and Machines
$72
This library includes both factory ambiences and close up industrial machines.
The perfect collection for ambience beds for big noisy halls or a great tool for single machinery movements.
Several locations were recorded, amongst it a a food manufacturer, a vinyl pressing plant, a cogeneration unit, a water pumpstation, a water treatment plant, steelworks and a machinery builder. Aditional sounds have been recorded around other industrial sites.
For most machines, I used a multi-mic setup with a stereo (ab or ortf) unit, and several spot mics (incl. contact mics), which you can use as a construction library to mix to your own taste. For some machines, premixed files are included in a addition to the single layers.
From the rattle of an assembly lines, to whistle of all kind of engines , deafening scream of giant units, distant chatter and walla of workers, hydraulic and pneumatic hisses and movements, stamping of metal parts as well as welding, brushing, giant metal saws, polishing, wet round grinding, milling, pounding compressors, noisy heating units, bubbling testing stations and many more machinery sounds all in big reverberant spaces as well as from dry close up (as far as inside) carefully chosen spots of machineries singled out, this library offers a broad range of sounds.
The machines have been recorded in long continous ambiences as well as starting and stopping sounds, where possible.
Sound from tools, like ground lift, gates or beeps are also included.

Sound of Essen started in 2017 as an official project for the European Green Capital 2017. 12 selected places from the rivers Ruhr and Emscher in Essen were introduced via sound. I offer free downloads of atmos, animals, machinery, vessels and many more along pictures, texts and maps of my trips in Essen. In 2018 the blog continued with the project Assindia X, a 10 year recording project in Essen, also supported by the city of Essen. In addition, I will continue to feature soundscapes of places and events in Essen and even offer libraries for sale with sounds from my hometown.
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.
