ktwAudio is Kurt Willoughby – a sound designer for video games, currently working with Running With Scissors.

After completing the MA Sound Production course at Edinburgh Napier University, a chance meeting lead to Kurt joining Running With Scissors near the beginning of their development for what became the POSTAL 2 DLC: Paradise Lost (released April 2015). Our work has since continued with the completion of a complete revamping of 1995’s POSTAL in the UE4 engine (released as POSTAL Redux in May 2016), and other projects that have yet to be announced.

Hum, Buzz & Glitch Sound Effects Unheard Sounds: Electromagnetic Fields Play Track 82 sounds included, 77 mins total $10

Welcome to the sonic world of electromagnetic fields – sounds that are everywhere but rarely heard!

This library consists of a collection of 82 sounds, with each sound ranging from 6 seconds in length up to almost 7 minutes, exploring the buzzing, clicking, and general weirdness that is found to be emitted in the electromagnetic fields of 21 devices. These include a washing machine, guitar effects pedal, Ford Focus, and a factory Security System.

These recordings range from a variety of straight buzzes and hums to sounds the morph and change over time. They are be great for something as simple as adding a hum to a refrigerator, to creating more complex soundscapes for your sci-fi projects, or to use as samples for music. This collection has been put together using little-to-no processing so as to give you sounds that can be manipulated however you may need.

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.

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!

David Farmer

Sound designer:
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!
