Sound effects libraries where the file names and metadata follow the Universal Category System (UCS), championed by renowned sound supervisor Tim Nielsen & more
Geophonic Design Vol. 3 features an eclectic array of designed sound effects, built from organic sources with infrasonic frequencies that go all the way down to 10Hz. This library has an abstract aesthetic and gives you a wide and varied palette of unique sounds that are perfect for injecting a little movement into your film, video game or documentary projects.
To create the sounds in this library, Our Audio Craftsmen used a ‘Geophone’ which is a seismic measurement device used to record seismic waves and vibrations of the earth. With the Geophone, we recorded low vibrations, hits and interactions of wood, metal, trees, soil, clay and other natural ingredients. You can expect to find a wide selection of unique ambiences, as well as an assortment of warm subsonic hits and dynamic movements and whooshes.
All of the included sounds were then precisely edited and designed by our dedicated in house team to build ambiences such as boulder movement, metal ghost voices, spirits calling, subsonic water texture, tree bark connection wind interference and many more. In addition, all the files are available in 24Bit 96kHz with extensive metadata and are UCS compliant to integrate seamlessly with your workflow.
The sounds will also make a great addition to your library as layered textures, to build a designed atmosphere in your projects, and are perfect as drones and ambiences for futuristic, sci-fi and horror scenes.
Geophonic Design Vol. 2 features a diverse collection of compelling designed sounds, which includes infrasonic frequencies all the way down to 10Hz. This library has a strong sci-fi & horror vibe and gives you a wide and varied palette of unique sounds that are perfect for injecting a little mystery and darkness into your film, video game or documentary project.
To create the sounds in this library, Our Audio Craftsmen used a ‘Geophone’ which is a seismic measurement device used to record seismic waves and vibrations of the earth. Using the Geophone, we recorded low vibrations and rumbles of various surfaces and locations. You can expect to find a wide selection of seismic ambiences, as well as an assortment of thunderous subsonic hits, blistering whooshes and electrifying glitch effects.
All of the included sounds were then precisely edited and designed by our dedicated in house team to build ambiences such as underground sewers, a labyrinth of metal pipes, nuclear wastelands, research bases, and other abstract ambiences. In addition, all the files are available in 24Bit 96kHz and extensively tagged with metadata and are UCS compliant to integrate seamlessly with your workflow.
The sounds will also make a great addition to your library as layered textures, to build a mysterious atmosphere in your projects, and will be perfect as drones and ambiences for futuristic, sci-fi and horror scenes.
Cymbals From Hell Vol. 2 is a haunting collection of raw and designed gong sounds, brought to you as the successor to one of our most popular horror libraries to date. Crafted from various types of gong recordings, this library brings you the creepiest stingers and harshest resonances to terrorise your audiences.
Made in collaboration with Igor Tikhonov from KEDR Audio, who captured various types of gong sounds and several performances using both Mid-Side and omnidirectional A/B microphone techniques to encapsulate an expansive stereo-field and the richest gong textures.
Our Audio Craftsmen then meticulously edited and designed them to make the most frightening and disturbing sounds including harsh, distorted gong rumbles, horror stingers, low heavy gong rumbles, mangled hits, and much, much more.
All the sounds are extensively meta-tagged and are UCS complaint so you can easily find the sound you need and are in 192kHz/24bit allowing for further sonic manipulation.
Sci-Fi UI is a collection of 401 unique, futuristic, alien-technology sounds divided into 7 thematic collections. This is not just another collection of bleeps and bloops. The sounds were created by manipulating field recordings, Foley, and sound effects giving them a personality with an organic, emotional and performative feel. The types of sounds include positive, negative, and neutral alerts, alarm loops, file and program loading, power up and power down sounds, software glitches, and system failures. Also included is a collection of alien technology ambience loops called “Control Room Tones” to help you design your spaceship interiors.

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.
