Sound Effects Library

[asphericalperspective]

I am currently working on a short film about the life of a mime. And the need for sound effects for his mimed actions is required.

For example: when the Mime pretend to clean a window, you will hear that "squeeking" noise.

I was just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction in buying or downloading a large library filled with these miscellaneous sounds.

Your time and responses will be greatly appreciated.

or you can get an external recorder and a good mic and record the sounds yourself. Also allows for some sound design creativty

I think you can buy a big lib from sonny.

Check out freesound.org for free stuff, you must attribute, but the site makes it pretty easy to do so with an attribution report. I just put that in my credits and done!

If you have a budget you can try SoundDogs.com and Sonomic.com to buy by-the-sound. Sound-Ideas.com sells entire libraries.

Doing the sounds yourself is a lot more fun, not to mention that it gives your project a its own sonic personality. Or, of course, you could always hire someone like me.

I sell my sound guy on doing all that work (for free) by reminding him then he'll be building his OWN library as well.

This is a great site. I've used it a lot. 2-4 hours on this site and you might get a lot of the sounds you want for free.

Quality varies so you've got to persevere.
