Home Sound Effects Just Ambience | Construction Sites
$35 $14
Here’s 144 minutes of composite German construction site ambiences. It comes with all the hammering, sawing, digging, drilling, some yelling workers, squeaky crawling excavators and loud jack hammers you’d expect. All edited, cleaned, mixed and packed with metadata.
The ambiences were mostly recorded with a Sound Devices 744t and a Sound Devices Mix-PreD through a Beyerdynamic MC930 ORTF setup and RODE NTG-4 microphone, and some ambiences were tweaked to seamless loop from end to start. All sounds were recorded over weeks at several different construction site around Stuttgart / Germany – from very small sites recorded close up to huge construction sites with lots different typical working sounds.
What is SoundBits and who else is in the team?
Well, that’s me Saro Sahihi, that guy in the mirror and a worldwide network of wonderful, professional partners, distributors and friends.
I’m not 100% sure about the actual date of birth of SoundBits. It must have been somewhen around the year 2011, though working in the audio-field started out several years before.
There never was a longterm plan or targeted destination – only a feeling, too strong to resist.
So, I had to follow and submissively obey to the feelings’ – sometimes weird – orders. You don’t want that feeling to get mad, so I kept it satisfied. Even if it meant to jump in at the deep end most of the time.
In hindsight that feeling was a magnificent guide, a golden thread throughout my career.
Meanwhile we’re good friends.
Anyway, SoundBits and I, we stand on 3 main pillars.
#1 is all about recording, editing and designing high quality Sound Effects Libraries for whatever opportunity or idea pops up. These libraries are then sold in the SoundBits | Shop and spread all over the world through my strong partners and distributors, such as Pro Sound Effects, A Sound Effect, Sonniss, Unreal Marketplace and many more.
#2 – almost equal – comes my work as a Sound Designer, -Editor and Mixing Engineer, covering most of the Audio-Postproduction areas.
Also Music Production is a steadily growing part.
C# emerged from the fact, that I love what I do, which needs you to steadily keep it rolling, what means you have to continuously learn new stuff and educate and train oneself, which then again leads to the urge to share all that new experience and knowledge.
So, teaching other aspiring and inquisitive apprentices to latently grow an army of Minio…
Well, that’s pretty much it. Thank you for your time!

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.
