Free sound effects, trains, mechanical, city & peopleThis is the free sound effects 'central' page; it contains a broad selection of traffic, city & people sounds and sound effects These sounds are man made - as distinct from the nature sounds pages; please don't presume though that all the 'mechanical' sounds will be loud and aggressive; a lot are, but there are subtle ones to be found as well Most of my sound recordings are environmental - sounds in place; it is very easy to extract individual sounds from these .. The 'free sound effects' are divided into four sections - these do overlap somewhat; they have been 'categorized' after being found and recorded .. Here is a broad selection of sounds from the various categories; find the tracks you like best and click the 'hear similar' tag Steam trains & old machines
Mechanical sounds, industry & more
Traffic sounds, city & atmosphere
Crowd sounds - people & children
 from Mardie, reviewer .. 'At dawn and dusk during spring and summer, Mumme would be poised to catch the calls of whipbirds, bellbirds, kookaburras, currawongs and cockatoos The chorus would begin .. dense with the awakening sound of the dawn .. driftier, looser and less complex towards the dusk The birds would perform beautifully, suggesting all the reasons why man has made both instruments and music to imitate this natural music And then - The bloke up the hill would start his water pump ! A dog would bark, a distant door would slam; an aeroplane would fly over - and the sounds of people and machines would obliterate the ambience of what Mumme was after ..
