Our Ukraine Metro Sound Library is a unique collection of thirteen ambiences recorded at Ukrainian metro stations and on Soviet subways and modern trains. Each sound is carefully recorded and crafted by professional field recordists and sound designers who know how to produce a high-quality audio experience. These unique ambiences include great detailed metadata using Universal Category System, allowing you to easily find and use these sounds.
This library includes Transitional Ambiences, which means the Field Recordist moves with microphones across a specific space within the audio file duration.
We contacted a Ukrainian Field Recordist, Dmitiry, to record ambiences throughout Ukraine. We were both excited about the upcoming sound libraries and started discussing what to record and planning the sound libraries. The first sound library we wanted to start working on is the ambience of the metro stations in Kyiv. Dmitry could go on a few field recording sessions just a week before the Russo-Ukrainian War. Thank you, Dmitiry, for your excellent and hard work.

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!
