Welcome to our biggest sound effects highlight ever! We have lots of new libraries – 36, to be exact – to share with you, so here is a quick breakdown:
If you’re looking for powerfully abstract sounds, you’re in luck! We have sinister impacts, thunderous elements, alien atmospheres, loopable darkscapes, dreamy swells, ghostly stutters, cinematic transitions, hi-tech blasts, futuristic impacts, bloody mutations, diverse whooshes, household drones, shocking accents, and subtle swipes.
If you’re looking for something a little more of this world, check out the beautiful ambiences of crickets in the Dakotas, Mediterranean shores, Scandinavian forests, Alaskan tundras, Ethiopian festivities, London tourist areas, factory production halls, and slushy urban winters. You can hear sounds of vehicles, too, with a German tugboat, English and Dutch barges, off-road motorcycles, and a Renault diesel van.
We also have intense ticking clocks, creepy doors, fluorescent bulbs, lo-fi UI sounds, a Magnetophon, EMF recordings of greenhouses and sewing machines, and lots of phrases that are perfect for video games. Happy listening!
