Battlefield Howitzer Sound Effects

Over a half decade in the making, the Battlefield Howitzers Sound Effects Bundle features authentic M101 C1 and C3 military howitzers and an Ordnance QF 25-pounder artillery piece.

The collection features 70 individual battlefield-style shots captured at medium and far distances. Each is diligently labelled by model, perspective, and performance.

• 140 sound clips (track list).
• 96 kHz, 24-bit stereo WAV files (with some 6-channel surround sound recordings).
• 373 megabytes.
• Top quality clips: professionally recorded, expertly mastered, and lovingly curated.
• Quick access: instant, secure download.
• Smooth workflow: extensive bonus embedded metadata in multiple formats helps find sounds fast.

Here is a preview montage of some of the howitzer shots. Blast it for full effect, but watch your ears!

Bonus Sound Effects

The original howitzers shots have a sharp, forceful attack paired with a rolling boom. For those that like their artillery with a bit less punch, the package includes a version of the 70 single shots treated to convey a softer attack.
