Introducing New Sound Effects Website + Bonus Free Sound Library!

It’s been a long time since you’ve heard from us. We’ve been busy working hard to record and share more sound effect libraries for you.

We are very pleased to introduce our new sound effects website. To celebrate, we are giving away a fresh sound library free-of-charge for the next 48 hours only.

New Sound Effects Website Design

We last updated our website in in 2018. It was getting a bit dated. So, over the last six months we have worked with UI and UX experts, graphic designers, web designers, and our tireless Airborne staff, and are very proud to showcase our new design:

• New clean, fresh website design and layout.
• New logo.
• Refreshed album artwork.

We didn’t redesign just for the sake of it. We wanted to highlight specifically how the collections help you with your projects and creations. We also wanted to make the site easier for you to find and use sound effect libraries.

• Streamlined: new, easier one-page checkout.
• Speed: blazingly fast new web host and with custom software.
• More informative: related or similar libraries shown on the product page and checkout.
• Easier: overall improved design to make it much easier to find and learn about sound effects you need.

Visit the new website home page, or sound library category page.

Sound Effect Library Updates

What new sound effects are available? What’s changed?

All collections have been updated with improved descriptive keywords, new album artwork, helpful organization, and tweaked metadata.

What about new collections?

Free Airport Ambiences Sound Library

First, we have the new, free Airport Ambiences sound effects library (29 sounds, 1.83 GB). It is a collection of ambiences captured in various distinct areas throughout a modern airport: arrivals, departures, priority pass lounge, passenger drop off, and more. They were recorded and edited to be neutral and to fit with any project.

The pro and loop-ready versions are typically $0.99 each. However, for the next 48 hours you can download high-resolution and looped versions 100% free of charge. Take them for a spin to test the quality of our work. Use the promo code 2022AIRPORT and click “Redeem” on the checkout page – this will revise the price to $0.00.

Sound Effect Library Updates

We refreshed a number of sound libraries, removed some older ones, and merged similar collections:

• The Buttons (50 clips, 47 MB) and Whoosh (70 sounds, 25 MB) sound effect libraries are now free (with paid pro versions).
• The new Freight & Passenger Trains sound effects library (82 sounds, 3.4 GB, $29) merged two former train libraries and dropped the collective price.
• The Household SFX Starter Set sound library (1050 sounds, 11.4 GB, $56) merged the Bathroom, Kitchen, Household, and Office sound libraries into one convenient, similarly-themed bundle. The collective price now is lower.
• The Sound FX Starter Set (488 sounds, 12.7 GB, $33) gathers the “Variety” and “Half-and-half” collections into one bundle with a reduced price. This package is designed to give you popular clips for an affordable price.

Questions about the revisions? Let us know.

The Future

What’s next?

We have over a dozen sound libraries completed that we will release throughout the year.

For every library we release, we’ll be sharing how we recorded it. For field recording fans, this can help you record your own sound effects. For sound designers, it will share insight about the quality of the recording, mastering, and curation of the sound effects.

We’ll start by announcing a new sound library next week.
