Home Sound Effects Tools & Trades
$41
Tools & Trades features comprises sounds of construction and destruction – performed by real contractors and their tools!
Our Audio Craftsmen followed tradesmen during a day of work to capture a vast variety of hammering, drilling, shattering glass, dropping and handling tools, pulling tape, sawing and operating power tools. These meticulously edited sounds are perfect for designing destructive elements or building up realistic soundscapes for your film, TV, documentary and game projects.
Sounds have been separated into the following character categories:
Drilling: A huge selection of drills recorded from various perspectives. Features steady drilling at various speeds and shorter, quicker bursts.
Glass: A satisfying selection of glass shattering and breaking. Perfect for literal and metaphorical use.
Hammering: Hammers being used on various surfaces with different pressures. Ranging from single impacts to successive hits.
Misc: Sounds of miscellaneous movements and tools. Includes the handling of different materials (metal, plastic, etc.) and picking up and setting down of sundry items.
Saws: Recordings of a circular saw at different speeds and perspectives, as well as the steady rhythms of a hand saw.
Scraping: Tools being used to scrape surfaces.
Tape: Perspective recordings of tradesmen pulling painter’s tape from a roll.
Tools: Clinks and clanks of tools being handled.
Wood: A short collection of wood being dropped and handled.
All sounds were recorded in 24Bit 96kHz, and have been tagged with extensive UCS metadata for ease of use.
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.
