80 Royalty-Free Audio Tracks for "Artifact"

I was trying to record noise outside my house with my phone, but when i tried to amplify the noise, this was the result. Thank you to renard_v for pointing out that these are decoding artifacts/compression artifacts. I didn't know it can sound like that when amplified.

Clicking sound made by touching my thumbnail to the blades of a moving ceiling fan. Some digital artifacts are audible due to overzealous noise reduction applied after the recording was made.

Created using modulation/flanging with one of felix. Blume's wind recordings: http://www. Freesound. Org/people/felix. Blume/sounds/165526/any compression artifacts you hear in freesound's player will not be in the downloaded version.

Single. 50 bmg shot fired at an outdoor range, with shell hitting ground. Processed slightly to remove background voices and other artifacts.

Just some amplified room noise with a soft and rumbly character. Note: you may hear squeaking sounds or other artifacts in the compressed online preview. The file you download will not have these issues.

Shoveling snow, few steps, throwing snow forward and aside, few breaths. Recorded with xy mics of zoom h6. Chopped and slightly denoised, still with some artifacts. 48khz, 24 bit, stereo, wav. Use it anyway you like. Enjoy).

Three barks from lottie, a small family dog. Mic: rode nt4recorder: tascam dat recorder. Processed using izotope rx 7 de-clip to improve clipping – some artifacts remain, but it should be usable.

A large metal pot suspended on a rubber band. The pot is hit while spinning. Note: you may hear squeaking sounds or other artifacts in the compressed online preview. The file you download will not have these issues.

Mbira, kalimba, thumb-piano i recorded for a friend. Applied noise reduction so some artifacts are audible, but other wise a decent recording. It includes the notes, and some chords and waw waw fx caused by intermittently blocking a hole in the kalimba's resonant body.

This was recorded a few feet away from an indoor fireplace. The recording was made with a tascam dr-05. Note: you may hear squeaking sounds or other artifacts in the compressed online preview. The file you download will not have these issues.

A dark rumbly drone with intermittent higher frequency elements, all with a distorted flavor. Made with native instruments' metaphysical function. Note: you may hear squeaking sounds or other artifacts in the compressed online preview. The file you download will not have these issues.

Yet another "low, bassy thing". Will sound better once downloaded as the preview function sometimes adds compression artifacts. This one is loopable and might produce a mildly stupefied mental state in some listeners. So if you go and load it into your ipod don't try operating a vehicle or playing with power tools.

Samples from a freakenfurby, a circuit-bent furby toy by dave barnes. These are glitched speech synthesized vocalizations recorded at 32 bits by direct connection into sonar. They were downsampled to 16-bit, broken into individual cues, edited and processed and filtered to remove offset correction issues and other unpleasant artifacts.

Samples from a freakenfurby, a circuit-bent furby toy by dave barnes. These are "normal" speech synthesized vocalizations (without glitches) recorded at 32 bits by direct connection into sonar. They were downsampled to 24-bit, broken into individual cues and processed and filtered to remove offset correction issues and other unpleasant artifacts.

Night atmosphere recorded in the mountains in south of france. Disclaimer : the high squeak sounds you might hear in the preview comes from freesound's compression artifacts. They won't be present in the downloaded audio file.

Sound of moving light soviet tank t-26 (tank of world war ii, civil war in spain). Summer forest. Tracks and engine sound, engine acceleration. Video with this sound was recorded in finland (parola tank museum). Date: summer 2009. Microphone: unknown video-camera microphone. The sound was postprocessed with program audacity (freeware) to remove talks and artifacts.

Recorded in a tunnel with custom made musical pipes and distorted xylophone type instrument. Natural reverb. Heavily post processed to remove any background noise / artifacts. Creative commons 0. I am always interested to know what you guys use my sounds for so please post in the comments.

This is a sci-fi ambient drone sound i made. It's creative commons cc0, so please treat it as public domain. You can use it in any commercial or non-commercial media for free, no restrictions. For those curious how i made this, i took a quick 8-second drum loop from my pocket operator po-33 (ko) and ran it through a free time-stretching/pitch-shifting program called akaizer. The program's based on old samplers like the akai s1000 that had extremely artifact-heavy time-stretching and pitch-shifting features. If you slow a sound down enough, the final product tends to sound harsh and electric. Akaizer turned my 8-second drum loop into 2 minutes and 38 seconds of harsh, bassy noise, pretty damn close to the final. Then i imported the file (we'll call it file a) into reaper, my daw. Track 1 has reaeq with a high-shelf acting like a low-pass. Its curve is set at 1386. 2 hz, gain at -inf, and bandwidth at 2. In retrospect, i have no idea why i didn't use a low-pass. Track 1 has a send to a blank track 2, which has a fab-filter pro-q 3 high-pass filter with a 12db slope. It's at 320. 57hz, q is 1. 096. After the eq, track 2 has valhalla shimmer set to the black hole preset with no changes. Track 3 is the default file a with valhalla shimmer on the black hole setting, but with two tweaks. Low-cut is at 30hz, high-cut is at 6630hz. Everything else is the same. That's followed by fab-filter pro-q 3 with these eq settings:-0. 72db at 69. 463hz, q at 1. 007. -1. 11db at 536. 64hz, q at 1. 013, dynamic eq (click "make dynamic" and leave everything as-is). The point of this dynamic eq is to give a slight drop in gain in the 500hz region, which tends to get muddy in larger mixes. I wasn't sure if i'd use this for a larger project, and i didn't want build-up in that region from the already large-sounding track 1 and 2. The ocassional eq drops here also adds a warble to the final mix that helps sell an analog, electrical sound. +0. 85db at 3697. 3hz, q at 1. 009. This is to add subtle airiness to the drone. It seems weird to have "airiness" in the 3-4k region, but it's the sort of rumbliness of the sound traveling away and dissipating in the atmosphere after the lowest drone sounds. My volume fader settings for all 3 tracks:. Track 1: -8. 59 dbtrack 2: -6. 46 dbtrack 3: -6. 43 db. On my master bus, i have izotope imager 9 with these settings:. Band 1: width at -100 (mono) for 59hz and below. Band 2: nothing at 60hz to 525hz (width at 0). Band 3: width at 48. 1 for 526 to 1. 4khz. Band 4: width at 49. 4 at 1. 4khz and above. Stereoize is set to 6. 4ms on mode i. And that's it! no compressors or limiters anywhere, since i liked how dynamic the actual tracks were and i figure you can always add your own compressor or limiter to the final if you want. I've also added the original po-33 drum loop on my page, as well as the loop after it was run through akaizer but before it hit reaper in case you want to do your own processing. Enjoy :).

This is the second part of a recording an overflowing brook in summer, out in a farmer's field after a rainstorm. This one is pretty clear but there may be some artifacts created by my phone being jostled, or other sound sources in the area, but it's long so those could be easily cut out. Edit it however you like.

Poking around in my grandmother's barn - building is approx 140 years old and filled with old tools, furniture and other random things. Recording consists of a lot of rusty metal scrapes and thumps, footsteps on old wood, doors etc. Recorded on a hand-held sony pcm-d50. I've edited out the worst of the wind and other artifacts of my sloppy recording technique, but there may be some still in there.

An up-close recording of a single cricket chirping. I recorded this with a shure beta 57a microphone, at my house, with the mic a few inches away from one of my housemate's crickets (don't ask). I used cubase and izotope denoise to remove noise artifacts, as well as a low-cut to remove unwanted low freqs. Recorded in mono but exported in stereo, so both the left and right audio channels are the same.

There is a new freeware program called splitte. Aithat will take any piece of music and extract parts from it. It is highly inaccurate when trying to really accuratelysurgically remove, say, bass, drums, guitar or vocal tracks,but it creates some really trippy artifacts. All of these sample were from a live jazz tune that we were playing. The results of splitter splitting the tracks were really weird and ethereal. I have no affiliation with splitter. Ai, by the way, i just stumbled on it thisweek.

This is the same sound i recorded 6 years ago, back than i had just a very crappy microphone through my cellphone. Last year i bought an ipad, and i installed hokusai audio editor. This gave me a better way to record in higher quality. Still mono though, but it has less audio artifacts. This alarm is tested once every 3 months all over the swedish towns.

It's this sound:http://www. Freesound. Org/people/unfa/sounds/217455/. . . . Pitched down with audacity and truncated. I also made a fade-in and fade-out to ensure no clicks will occur. The preview doesn't sound right (artifacts, distortion), download it to hear the real thing. Also - it's very low frequecy, so use headphones or a woofer, or you might miss it :).

Field recording of a summer afternoon (28th june, ~20:30) in berlin lichtenberg. The recorder (edirol r-09rh) was set in a very high building, therefore the sound consists mainly of ambient noise, eventually with subtle concrete sounds (birds, childs, dogs, sirens,. . . ). The audio is unfiltered, so it's dominated by low-frequency energy. Filter as you wish :). (the web preview seems to have some high frequency artifacts. Download the wav file to get it on full quality).

The Song to the Moon (Lieblicher Mond, or, in the original, "Měsíčku na nebi hlubokém") from Act I of Antonín Dvořák´s Rusalka (1901, Op. 114), sung by Emmy Destinn (Ema Destinnová). Conducted by Walter B. Rogers. This is Victor 88519, Matrix C-14757-3. Full details This file is heavily retouched from the original, including noise reduction, multiband spot compression, band-pass filtering, and spot repairs of clicks, pops, and NR artifacts.

This stereo recording was made on november 23, 2014 in grays harbor washington during a rare thunderstorm. The clip contains rain falling on a wooden deck and recurring peals of thunder both near and far. This original recording was made using a zoom h-6 handy recorder with zoom stereo xy microphone. The track was edited in audacity 2. 0. 6 to remove a few artifacts. Total run time for this wav file is: 8:29. This is my first upload. I am hearing impaired and new to field audio recording. I am fascinated by this art form and hearing sounds that i haven’t been able to hear in twenty years. I would greatly appreciate your feedback on the quality of my work and, if you choose to use this in a project, the end use you have in mind.

Note: the high-pitched squeaks are artifacts from freesound's preview and aren't present in the actual recording. 10 minutes of a thunderstorm, recorded september 7th, 2019 from my apartment window in seattle. This is the raw recording straight from my zoom h5. Levels were kept low to minimize the chance of clipping. A few thunder sounds were still too loud, but luckily the h5 has a backup function that recorded an identical track 12 db quieter. I've uploaded that as well, so you can splice the two together to taste. Eventually i'll release a processed version with the two combined, plus compression and eq, but i wanted to upload the source material in case you'd prefer to diy it.
