Sound Effects

We have digitally recorded hundreds and hundreds of sound effects over the past 20+ years.  Some of these effects were obtained because we couldn’t find what our clients were looking for, or when we did they were poorly done in some cases.  Other times we just had a lot of fun recording them. We also sometimes wanted a more “active” approach to our effects, so we have effects where you travel “with” the effect rather than it just “passing by” as is often the case.  So for example you can ride in urban traffic, take a complete flight in a small Cessna plane or ride on a small boat.  Being in midwest country we have significant thunderstorms come our way, and I’ve sat out in them (in safety) to get those amazing cracks and crashes.  Also this puts us in the heart of farming and agriculture,  so we know what a tractor should sound like – both old and new.  Additionally Omaha hosts a major Air Force airshow each year and we’ve been able to capture parts of that as well.

So what all do we have?  It’s a pretty long list from domestic, lab, outdoors (lakes, streams, ponds and their inhabitants, wind in the grass, critters, sloshing in the muck), transportation (motorcycles, trucks, cars, trains, planes large and small), mechanical sounds (scraunch, whine, squeal, hum and bump), old-time engines, steam-driven saw, urban and rural sounds in West Africa, group ambience, and individual sounds (such as snoring-like nobody’s going to sleep snoring), and well I’ll just put one big ETC. here.

As mentioned on the “About Us” page we haven’t officially marketed these effects yet, but if you’re looking for a particular sound, drop us an inquiry and we’ll let you know if we have a match. (We might just be looking for an excuse to go out and record it for you if we don’t have it).  Also, if you have a favorite place you like to find your effects, let us know and we’ll see about getting ours on there.  Our pricing will be competitive with other sound effects libraries, and although there will be some price difference, we’re not going to gouge you for longer effects because we know you’re probably only going to use small pieces of it anyway, and if you use the whole thing that’s great too!

A small sampling can be auditioned here, and again thank you for respecting the ownership (us) of these sounds.

Efx away!
