Home Sound Effects
Stormwave Audio was established in 2010 with a single purpose – to bring your project to the next level with creative sound! We specialize in top quality sound design – creating professional sound effects, sample libraries, voice clips and music.
I’m Artur and my life has always revolved around audio and media.
I played in highly established bands, I was a DJ on an exotic island, but sound design, interactive audio, programming and games were always the perfect mix for me.
Whether I record sounds of foreign cities, manage to wiggle my way into a factory to capture industrial machinery or program a procedural futuristic sound effects creation software you can be assured of quality of the results.
I’m currently combining two of my passions – sound and travel. For the past few years I have been continuously living on the road, looking for the next best sound to record.

The Northern Light is a sound effects library of a one of a kind vintage schooner from Faroe Islands – Norðlýsið.
The ship has been completed in 1945 and is still operational, serving as a tourist vessel. It is one of the most recognisable watercrafts on The Faroes.
The library is organised into 9 folders:
The 315 sound effects included were recorded before the 2020 renovations of the ship and feature now replaced mechanical parts, equipment and wooden elements.
This library also includes bonus sound effects of the ship’s dock elements, such as the gangway and harbour ambiences.
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.
