2,034 Royalty-Free Audio Tracks for "Mic Impact"

I used a cheap clip-on contact mic to record this sound during quarantine in april 2020.

Rubbing a contact mic slowly on my corduroy pants.

A small square tin can, elastic rubber band and a bicycle spoke. Contact mic. Exploring how sound resonates 'trough' the object instead 'reflecting off' the object. -alexander.

Taped a pair of jrf c-series contact mics on a small, very quiet wristwatch to see if i could get a good signal. Pleasantly surprised by the result. Removed the quartz hum and de-noised in rx 7.

This happened when i pulled the mic out of the computer in audacity, this will loop.

Free drone. Recorded using homemade contact microphones. The os-xx samples consist of different recordings of fans, fridges, espressomachines, etc. The sounds are pretty raw, i added reverb, and cut some sub. I can, on request hand out the raw recordings. Enjoy.

Just a quick thing of "bass" from me mouthrecorded with a blue snowball (condenser microphone).

This sample was created by taping a razor blade to a contact microphone and allowing the blade to scrape against the edge of a record spinning on a turntable. The reverb was added in real time, so there's not a dry signal recording. Very reminiscent of tg's "hamburger lady" in some ways. Sounds like a human voice almost.

A minidisc and a mic paired with a couple of kids, exploring with headphones the house. A listening exercise at meterruidos workshop for children.

A set of keys being scraped against a metal gate recorded with a contact mic.

Microphone tap with ambient sound and mid frequency larsen effects. Recorded with rode ntg2 connected to motu ultralite mk4.

Kitten purring recorded with contact mic.

This is a noise i found while listening to a recorded track that i thought sounded interesting, so i worked with it for a bit, eliminated all the extraneous noise, and amplified it to max volume without (unwanted) distortion.

Why does everything i upload sound like people screaming and/or chainsaws!?. Sound source is a contact mic producing feedback into various fx. The main fx used for the clip are a sirkut electronics gnarler, boss metal zone, dod grunge, and finally, a danelectro french fries auto wah. Recorded direct-to-sound card as usual. This is a sample taken from a longer piece.

Sound of opening a "snusdosa" swedish tobacco. Recorded by the inbuilt mic in an imac.

A recording using a contact mic into my roland r26 field recorder, it was a windy day so you could hear the wind hitting the bridge and the water rushing underneath. I placed the mic on a metal bolt for a solid contact.

The opening of a small glass spice bottle with a plastic cap and smelling of the spices and then closing the cap. The sound was recorded using my shure mic onto audition. I recorded it myself for a short film cause i was unable to find this sound here, so i decided to upload it here also.

Foley recording of head hitting the bathtub. Mono recording, 48khz/24. Mic: neumann km 185 supercardioid, zoom f8 recorder.

Dropping an umbrella on various soft surfaces. Useful for softer impact foley. Also included some sniffling free of charge! :). Recorded in a fairly quiet bedroom with the zoom h6, stock mic attachments (which i think sound pretty good considering the price tag!).

I thought i had a diy contact mic somewhere, but i did not find it. But i found another thing. A contact mic for an instrument tuner. But (again) it had a 1/4 inch mono plug. That meant i could not connect it to my computer mic in. But (i know) what if i plug it in to my modular synth. Surprise. . . Then i could add a little filter, pan and spring reverb. So clamped the mic on to my external 3,5 inch disc drive and recorded. This is my submission to dare 51.

One short note played on a melodica.

I recorded a noise i can create with my throat.

Clicking noise made with the mouth, close mic'd.

Close mic recording of multiple coins dropping onto a desk or a hard surface. Recorded with shure sm57.

Autopilot of a sail boat correcting the route during navigation. Recorded with a contact microphone applied to the back wall of the stern cabin. Mono, contact mic (jrf).

I needed the sound of a large piece of raw meat falling into the dirt. This is what i came up with. Use this far and wide. This site has been massively helpful to me. Here's a bit of give back.

Hit with a book.

Recorded using a shotgun mic and the zoom f8. Recorded this from an apartment in san diego, california. Mono 96khz, 24bit.

Rubbing a contact mic energetically on corduroy pants.

This is the sound of a soda stream in action from the perspective of a contact mic placed on the co-2 bottle. Recorded with an olympus ls100 and an open transducer.

I took a clip from the audio i recorded of wax paper crinkling, cut a segment from it, played it backwards, put it on loop, layered it with the original, and this is what i got. There is an somewhat syncopated pattern to the sounds, but the audio is cut off before it makes a full cycle. Enjoy.

An impact fx sample.

Cracking punch.

These are the sounds of real swords against various materials. Minimal editing has been done: separated samples, some eq, some fades. . . Mostly raw in open-air noisy market environment.
