308 Royalty-Free Audio Tracks for "Almost"

Here's a sound bite of me setting off a morning glory firework (essentially a sparkler, for the unaware). It almost sounds like a fuse going off if you ask me. Could be good for a fuse sound for a project. Recorded with a zoom h4n.

Garbage truck transferring the contents of a metal dumpster. Lots of clanging and banging. Truck then drives off down the alley. Recorded pre-dawn so almost no other urban sound pollution.

This is a complete firework that i had the opportunity to record in 2016 during the belgian national day. I was almost entirely at the front of the line. Recorded with tascam dr-100mkii onboard microphones.

Red wine in a wine bottle. Bottle almost full of liquid without cork and the opening aimed at a sennheiser mke600 mic.

Ambient foley, recorded myself playing the piano on an old 80s cassette recorder. . . Stretched it and ran it through a convolution reverb. This is the result, almost sounds like the intro to a burial track. Would work great in ambient music.

An unusual, almost musical poot (fart). About a second long, processed with audacity for a more consistent tone and volume.

Heavy gain but not super high gain. Think loud marshall amp with the guitar player teasing you to the start of the song. And yeah it sounds almost like that one song you all know.

A close-up mic recording of a campfire with plenty of crackling sticks. You can almost feel the heat. :-) taken with a black sony ic voice recorder. Use however you'd like. God bless!.

A mockingbird going through its repertoire on a slow downtown morning. The background hum is probably large air conditioning units or perhaps a generator in the distance at a construction site. A car passes midway through the recording, approaching from behind so the stereo effect is almost nonexistent.

A raw audio mp3 recording of two actual swords crashing together; the sound is almost like a bell. The only background sound is a rather noisy clock, which can be taken out. Recorded with a black sony ic digital voice recorder.

Simply blues style riff, almost heavy distortion but it pulls back enough to not call it heavy. Some garage rock, independent style of blues you might call it. Some difference variations are throughout the piece.

I recorded the noise of a mac donald's restaurant, you can hear machines in their kitchens, a few steps, something is thrown in the trash. There are few people in this restaurant, i am almost alone in this part of the restaurant. + airing noises.

Recording of live kick drum that was gently hand-tapped with a plastic club. Recording was then reversed and processed through compressor, eq, flanger, gentle distortion and slight reverbation, to produce something almost but not quite entirely unlike an approximation of the beating of a human heart.

Diy gate connector techno. My home made gate connector is fun to use to more then modular gate signals. This is a simple, almost accidental, beat driven thou the connector.

Night calling/begging voice of juvenile european long-eared owl (hun:erdei fülesbagoly; lat:asio otus). It was almost as big as it's parent but sill was begging some weeks later nighly. :).

Using an inflated toy balloon in a bath full of water to create some interesting sounds. The balloon hitting the top of the water almost sounds like a drum, and my fingers on the wet rubber could be useful in a cartoony squash and stretch capacity. Recorded on a tascam dr-05.

Lowest string (f1, gauge 0. 74) playing again, but this time with heavy distortion and no reverb. There is some barely noticeable noise towards the end, picked up by the guitar pickups. Djenty, almost bass guitar stringish tone.

Almost stormy night in texas. Small rolling thunder. Wind in trees. Some crickets. A distant fire truck and wind chimes. A few gust of wind blow on the microphone, but mostly clean. Zoom h4 - some microphone knocks cleaned up in audition.

Decided to smash some older, almost broken already furniture we had lying around our shop for a production that we were doing. The table was weak, didn't give much in the way of sound, but here it is.

Dove: the cooing of a dove is achieved through foley. Vibrato is added to an almost owl-like sound created by blowing air into ones crossed-over hands. It is a subtle cooing and varies in tone, tempo and amplitude. Recorded with the zoom h6, rode ntg.

Apple imac is a silent computer. I don't hear almost any noise from it, but i tried giving a microphone-sweep over the screen, which surprised me. You can hear various kinds of noise in a close audition. A dynamic mic.

Sitting waiting in an almost empty car park on a summer evening. People talking, walking around, distant city noises. Zoom h1, internal mics, no filters.

An upright piano chord sequence repeated three times, and a clock ticks!. This recording is not a perfect loop but able to be made such. Tempo is synced to clock ticks and so is almost accurately 120 bpm. Recorded by sony xperia c5305.

Low distortion, almost surf rock but a bit of country. Or more western than country. Maybe even call it somebody trying to run out of texas into new mexico only for the engine to sputter every few seconds.

Weird sorta lo-fi type of riff which changes to an almost country type of lick, then it changes again near the end. Middle of the road distortion. Might work as a background noise track in smaller segments.

New-years fireworks in the distance as heard from a place. Almost isolated safe for a car that drove by twice and one of my rabbits squeaking a few times. Individual bits might even pass for war-time atmosphere.

Remastered old church bell sound to make it clean (no noise. . Almost). Based at https://freesound. Org/people/dsp9000/sounds/76405/.

Another test loop from my work-in-progress loop editor for unity. This one is very relaxed and loose, almost no beat. Feel free to use this for any project, credit is not required. I'd love to hear / see anything you make with it though!.

A loud and dramatic horn. Known from the movie "inception. " it was created viaa recording of myself playing an ab note (below the scale of bass clef) on my bbb tuba and then adding things like distortion, echo, fade, etc. In audacity to make it almost identical to the dramatic horn from "inception. ".

Full siren test (with a couple of gaps) including the announcement for each siren and two separate sirens. There's a perfect delay as the sound bounces around the city creating an almost digital sounding delay effect for the announcement and reverb for the sirens.

Messing around in logic with some surround impulse responses and delay designs. Ended up with something that sounded a bit like a submarine sonar blip. . So i added the sound of a fridge, time stretched using the flex tool and pitch adjusted and now it sounds almost real :).

An almost… 12s loop made from sounds i made in addictive synth and sunrize on ipad. They were merged in kaoss pad 3 and recorded to dynasonic pdr-1. Finally i made a loop out of the sound using audacity. (120bpm, 12s, keynote g).

Owl hooting: you can hear a very distinct owl sound created through foley by lowing air into folded hand. An almost glissando of pitch is present to create a realistic feel. Recorded with the zoom h6, rode ntg. Great for a night-time scene and to fill up atmosphere an ambiences.

A ride inside on a small modern regional train. The wagon is almost empty. First some voices of passengers, then departure from the station and ride along the route. Rail noise, soft rattling and clattering. No announcement. Recorded in april 2023, switzerland, route chur-landquart.

Think of a spaceship launching from a desolate planet with hardly any fuel reserves. Sorta heavy distortion with the right amount of phaser and chord progression. Almost moody and atmospheric.

I was just messing around with audacity recently and recorded a word "no". Then stretched it out using tempo stretch function (function that streches speed, but does not alter the pitch) maxed out twice in a row. That resulted in such a simple word stretched out to almost 5 minutes. Sounds rather scary and interesting.

A long, squeaky, almost metallic-sounding toot that ends in an upsweep to a high pitch. Completely real, processed with audacity for a more consistent tone and volume.

The empty streets of sofia (bulgaria) by night 22:30 on 16. 4. 2015. You can only here few cars passing in the alley and almost no speach. Recorded with zoom h-1.

Swiss metro (m2) with almost nobody, door, brake and acceleration noises. Warning beeps and a robotic voice announces the stops (vennes, fourmis, sallaz). Sometimes people chatting but distant. Recorded in stereo with h5.

Mild rain with occasional thunder in mexico city. Almost no traffic, couple of cars pass by slowly. Captured with an ms capsule, decoded into a 120º stereo image.

This is the sound-signature of many of the problems with digital audio equipment, a source sound of now-unidentifiable character was mangled using a selection of iterative granular resampling, timestretching and recombination techniques, almost all of which produce noisy artefacts, intermodulation artefacts and a particuarly weird sort of very noisy geomtetric comb filtering.

Turns out if the time is right for it, the microphone sensitive enough and you amplify with audacity, some pretty graphic sounds are present. Don't ask if it's real. It is. Sexual penetration and lots of movement, and i wasn't even in charge. :d almost inaudible during the act.

I recording made near some woods of the wind ebbing and flowing on an unusually mild day in late november of 2013. What i find unique about this recording is a lone cricket calling out at various times of this recording. . . Makes for a nice, almost melancholy feeling. It is almost like the cricket is not quite ready to hide away for the winter and is taking advantage of a rare 70-degree november day to call out as if to say "hey, i'm still here, waiting. . . In the grass. ". With headphones on, works wonders in clearing your head. . . Recording made at 6:30 at night with my handy / zoom h4 n recorder using the internal microphones, and of course using a very very stout wind screen. Enjoy.

Ian dury used something like this in "what a waste". . . It's the gurgling noise made when the last of the water runs down a bathroom sink plughole. Conveys almost as much meaning as a cistern flushing, but in a shorter time (smaller file size). As ever (with my stuff) no "noises off" and so ready for mixing!.

This is like the other file almost the same name, it is the same silly announcement that warns you about the end of an escalator or conveyor and is used in asda. This version as rather more background noise suppression, with the usual trade-off! choose your weapon between the two files that i have uploaded! enjoy!.

Recording of the almost-frozen bow river in banff, alberta, canada. Recording taken in winter, at night. Cold, some wind distortion. Recorded using the h2n zoom recorder on the m/s setting. High pass filtered, decoded to stereo.

Drawer in almost 100 years old kitchen cabinet. Sound of opening and closing the drawer. Recorded with zoom h1 built in microphones. No eq or any other effect applied. Sound normalized in sound forge pro. Enjoy!.

The eerily quiet soundscape of a small midwestern town during the covid-19 shutdown. . . This was recorded in town, on a friday night (april 3rd, 2020) at a time when there is almost always more traffic, people and families walking and talking on the sidewalks. . This recording started at 11pm at night. . . What a strange, weird eerie feeling of this track. You will hear a lot of steady wind gusts, dry leaves being moved around by the strong southerly flow. . Equipment: sony pcm-m10 recorder sitting on a small tripod about 3 inches from the ground. . . I had to really crank up the gain on this one because everything was so quiet---almost as if the neighborhood was holding its breath. . . . Hope you enjoy this unique ambiance.

Kids are playing on the playground. Prague, june 2020, shortly after the first wave of the covid-19 crisis (the playground is almost empty). The children play carefree.

Light string sound without melody. Made with a keyboard improvisation midi, processed through virtual synth in music maker as acoustic guitar, disguised with reverb, delay, echo and fx phasing into something that sounds almost like a gypsy cimbalom.
