Sound Effects

The JGodoy Sound Library presents an extensive collection of natural and urban soundscapes gathered over thirty-five years of on-location sound recording for feature films and documentaries across Brazil. Our extensive experience as a field recordist is evident in the vast diversity of environments captured. Our collections consist of continuous recordings meticulously captured from real-world environments, providing rich and detailed audio experiences perfect for bringing your audiovisual projects to life with a particular focus on the diverse sounds of Brazil. All files are mastered at 96kHz/24bit to preserve and highlight the sonic complexity of each space.

Environments & Ambiences Amazon Rainforest Play Track 15 sounds included, 72 mins total $72

This exclusive sound library presents 15 meticulously captured soundscapes recorded deep within the pristine Amazon rainforest during 1995 and 1996. The first expedition, conducted in the municipality of São Félix do Xingu, Pará, utilized the legendary Nagra IV-STC analog recorder. The second expedition, in the Adolpho Duck Forest Reserve, Manaus, Amazonas, employed a portable setup consisting of the pristine AD261 mixer and the HHB Professional Portadat PDR-1000TC. These recordings offer an unparalleled and transparent representation of the Amazon’s rich biodiversity at a time when the region was largely untouched.

Each continuous track, ranging from 3 to 16 minutes, provides an immersive auditory experience of the rainforest’s natural soundscapes. Carefully remastered at 96kHz/24bit, these recordings preserve the original audio quality. Discover the intricate symphony of crickets, the exotic melodies of birdsong, the strident calls of cicadas, and the unique singing of the majestic macaws all captured in their natural habitat.

Organized using the UCS system for easy navigation, this library is an invaluable resource for sound designers, filmmakers, and anyone seeking authentic and high-quality natural sounds.

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!

Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies

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!
