We Create High Quality Sound Effects And Noises

Avosound Desolation Soundscapes Sound Effects Library

Collecting the sounds of the world

We collect the sounds of the world on our travels. From the Tibetan highlands to the jungles of Vietnam and Myanmar and the concrete skyline of New York: we create high-quality sounds and atmospheres from all over the world.

We love what we do –– which is why we sometimes travel to the ends of the world for our sound design collections.

In a nutshell: great productions need new, cutting-edge sound effects to achieve greatness. We travel the globe for you... and we bring home the sounds of the world.

Sound recordings, sound effects and atmospheres from around the world

We go far for our sounds - sometimes to the end of the world. All in the service of gathering pure, unaltered sound effects.
Traveling is part of our work and a necessity if you want to discover new sound effects or re-record ancient ones. We found plenty of old sounds in Tibet with its prayer wheels and flags that have been making noise for centuries, the wind carrying their mantras out into the world.
But even these civilisation sounds are not as ancient as some of the indigenous sound effects that have been occurring on our planet for ages. The roar of the water, the breaking of the waves, the might of thunder and lightning: for eons they have been part of this Earth.
Travel in time and space with us and feel what it's like to peer at the ocean while lying in the black sand of a volcanic island. These impressions (and countless others) can be found in the Avosound Online Sound Archive, available in stereo or 5.1 Surround Sound.

Avosound - We Love What We do

Working in harsh conditions while recording sounds at the other end of the world (i.e. Farewell Spit in New Zealand). What the kiwis consider a bit of a draft is more like a hurricane for us North Europeans!

The Sound Archive - the foundation of your company and your success

Sound effects, sounds and noises are the heart and soul of an audio-visual production and the foundation of any audio post-production company.

A comprehensive sound effects library with cutting-edge new sounds will not only make your work more interesting and versatile, it will also speed up your workflow by offering you lots of results when you search for sounds. A sound library and interesting sound effects are the foundation of your creative work and will give your work a unique acoustic stamp.

In today's production environment it is crucial to use the available means as efficiently as possible and to not lose any time. A comprehensive and versatile sound effects library is still the best foundation for sound design and sound editing. Extended browsing and arduous research tend to take up too much time and interrupt the creative flow of your work.

A great sound effects library, however, will make your work (and your company's output) extremely fast and efficient and will provide you with excellent source material for many different productions. It allows you to service productions with great speed and at standard of quality that will live up to your reputation.

Handling big productions - Using resources efficiently

If time and money are tight, you need to use whatever resources you have very efficiently. A comprehensive and versatile sound archive will not interrupt your workflow. High-quality, comprehensive sound effects allow you to create high-end tracks even for smaller productions and in top-of-the-line quality - despite tighter budgets.

A comprehensive sound library with high-quality sound effects and atmospheres will make you fast and flexible.

When the budget is tight, it can be a particular challenge to make the work live up to your high standards and to give it a personal touch in such a short time. For these reasons, it is even more important not to lose any time and make quality compromises.

At Avosound and our partner labels, we will travel far to gather the best sound effects from around the world for you. We will create a custom-made sound library for you and your company, compiled according to your requests and your quality requirements.
