What could metal friction sounds be good for? Squeeling brakes, twisting valves, collapsing structures, other worldly, terrifying creatures? Annoying your girl-friend? I created this grinding, growling, squeaking, rasping lot. Hopefully you find it useful zapsplat.com/sound-effect-pack #SoundEffects #ContentCreators #Creatives #FilmMaking #FilmMakers

🚨 #Sound #Library #PSA 🚨

The #BBC 's sound effect library is now stocked with over 33,000 samples to download for free.

The extensive #archive has been open to the public since 2018 but has since doubled in size and is completely free for anyone to access.

The sound effects and recordings date back to the 1920s, and comprise both those made in the broadcaster's dedicated studio for use in specific BBC programmes, as well as those captured as field recordings out in the world.

Indexed into categories, the sounds span everything from #footsteps and #transport to #nature and machines. Among the plethora of sounds covered are #reindeer grunts, #rain, #clocks, #horses walking in mud, common #frog calls and crowds at the 1989 FA Cup Final. And that barely scratches the surface. 😲

The sounds have been released under a non-commercial use license (a RemArc License) as part of the BBC's RemArc programme, which is “designed to help trigger memories in people with #dementia using BBC Archive material as stimulation".

A RemArc License stipulates that the samples can only be used for research, educational or personal projects, and therefore can't be legally sampled in music that is then sold.
