Human Sound Effects AFL Football Crowds Play Track 53 sounds included, 65 mins total $45

Australian Rules Football or AFL is one of the most popular sports in Australia – and the crowds are incredibly enthusiastic. This library of football sports crowds was recorded at a major stadium from various perspectives – from being a part of the mob where you can hear individual voices, all the way to top level where the cheers become a massive roar of thousands of voices.

With over an hour of content, this should have all the moments and perspectives that you need. There’s elated cheers, boos, gasps, chants and everything in between. There’s even some swearing – but don’t worry, that’s in a clearly marked folder and tagged in the metadata so that you can filter those files out if you need it to be family friendly. Plus for when you need to hit the ground running, there’s a 6 minute loop-able ambience punctuated with both highs and lows.

To top it all off there’s some recordings of crowd ambiences around the venue, including hallways, turnstiles and even outside the stadium. Lastly there’s my personal favourite: several recordings of the iconic AFL siren.

This is a great package filled with authentic Australian accents audible in the close up recordings – but in the middle and far perspectives all those voices becomes a massive wash that will blend nicely with other crowd libraries from any other sport and country.

Water & Ocean Sounds Liquidation Play Track 180 sounds included $35

Liquidation is a liquid texture library covering everything from water to slime to fizzes and bubbles. Source material in this library includes wet slimy pasta, giant water balloons, large containers being submerged underwater, leather fizzing in a chemical bath, pool water splashes and more. Plus it was all recorded at 192kHz/24bit so you can really stretch and thrash these sounds – and the vast majority of the sound files are in stereo. Whether you're designing an underwater adventure or an alien autopsy, this library is full of complimentary textures to layer together.

This package now also includes Contact Mic River, which is a free mini sound library featuring underwater sounds of a rushing river. These recordings were made with contact microphones, but produced hydrophone-style sound which gels nicely with the Liquidation library. (Note that these sounds are only at 48kHz/24bit, but the rest of Liquidation is at 192kHz/24bit.)

Footsteps Sound Effects Human Stampede Play Track 13 sounds included, 18 mins total $7

Human Stampede was recorded across multiple marathon races and captures the sound of footsteps of large crowds of runners.

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!
