Feel the raw edge and power with this high-quality sound effects
The loud hums and cranks of large industrial equipment can be hard to honestly capture on the live mic of your production. But at the same time, it defines the scene. Imagine a video that takes place in a factory without the humming din of machine operations? Or imagine a conversation next to a tractor without the grinding of its engine?
YouTube’s most daring creators can use an avant-garde approach to their audio soundtracks. And don’t forget the atmospheric tension in blockbuster films and even the immersive soundscapes of award-winning podcasts. The sonorous mechanical grind and click-clack of industrial equipment have carved its niche in the modern world of sound.
Our fascination with these sounds is as complex as the machinery that produces them, and it’s about time we get to a solid update featuring them. Cue the drumroll—or perhaps the bench grinder—for the release of our latest stock FX upload.
About the Sounds
We spared no expense (or eardrum) to capture these industrial gems in pristine detail. Our team of recordists embedded themselves deep within the bowels of factories and workshops (and fields) to get up-close-and-personal with the machines.
For example, we’ve captured great industrial room tones and printing house ambiences, with their ambient hums, clanks, and vibrations that will transport you right to the heart of a bustling industrial complex. And the hydro power plant engine ambience — you can practically feel the rumble of those massive turbines shaking the ground.
But it’s not all just ambient noise. We’ve also got some killer single sound effects that will add instant character to your projects. The bench grinder and electric fretsaw effects deliver the kind of raw, abrasive textures that’ll make you wince. Then there’s the sewing machine, assembly line rattle, wind turbine, stone crusher, grape extractor, and more, all with high detail and realism.

What the Sounds Can Be Used For
Film and video game sound designers will love using these sounds to create immersive, gritty environments. Imagine the tension as your protagonist sneaks through a dimly-lit factory, the ominous hum of machinery all around them. Or picture an epic battle scene, the staccato rhythm of an assembly line providing the perfect percussive backdrop.
And don’t even get us started on the world of podcasting and YouTube. These sounds are pure audio gold for adding atmosphere, punctuating important moments, or just spicing up your audio with some mechanical goodness.
