TRAIN LIFE is a detailed and in-depth collection of various Exterior Freight, Passenger Trains, and Railroad Ambiences.

Rumbling Freights roaring through the desert landscape, horns reverberating across the hills, passenger trains zipping by. The metal groan, creak, moan and clack, screech and bang of slow moving rail cars. Idles, Arrivals, Departures, Bys and a variety of Horns from Doppler to Close and Distant Perspectives.

You’ll also find a few old Electric Trains, a collection of Ambiences from Harbor Ports, Desert, and Railroad Yards, and Semi-Trucks rattling across the tracks.

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!

Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies

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!

Zdravko Djordjevic

founder of The Audio Spotlight

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.
