Birdsong is one of the most powerful tools of conveying emotion in a scene. Discover our latest soaring upload.
Birds flying high, you know how it feels. The scene is set on a Parisian balcony overlooking an enchanting garden, birds singing an intro into spring. A young woman, sipping her coffee, listening to the cheerful cacophony. An evening walk in the park, accompanied by the overconfident hoot of a hungry owl.
The sounds of birds fill in that silence that never was.
Don’t let your outdoor scenes sound dead in the silence. Be sure to add birdsong and sounds to get the realism necessary for a full and immersive viewer experience. Birdsong is a powerful indicator of mood as well. The playful whistles of a blackbird make us think of a fresh new start or a pleasant day, while the dark hooting of an owl brings us a sense of foreboding.
About the sounds
Our latest upload of 500 sounds is packed with various songs from our avian friends. Armed with high-quality recording devices, our team went into the forests and fields to capture the sounds of nature’s best performers. Quietly they tip-toed around, not to frighten them off, to ensure their maximum relaxation and best vocal show yet, just for you.
With our latest upload of zany cartoon sounds, we decided it was a time to get a bit more grounded and cover high-flying birds. From whistling blackbirds and cawing crows, to shrieking kestrels and crying hawks, from happy parrots and crying peacocks, to begging falcons and hooting owls, we’ve got all your avian needs covered.
What can you use these sounds for?
These aren’t just for birdwatching scenes. Birdsong is one of the most powerful tools of conveying emotion in a scene, whether playful or foreboding. Punctuate a serious conversation with distantly cawing jackdaws or children playing with the cheerful whistling of parakeets.
It’s of course, not just for videos and podcasts, but birdsong is also a great effect in intro or outro music, to conjure the same emotions.
We release new sound effects for Smartsound Cloud every two weeks. Sign up for our newsletter to keep up to date with each new release.
