Rocking chair creaks. Dentist drilling. Bottle smashes. Whooshes. Giggles. Children screaming. Windshield wipers. Booms, barrack bugles, and butcher knives sharpening. Harps, applause, and my favorite: Dog, terrier — sneezing. Three thousand human-life-on-earth sounds trapped into a tidy set of 28 compact discs (or 22 discs in digital).
To find a sound, you look it up in the accompanying 431 page catalog. For instance: “207-21-01 Weather, TV Broadcast — Generic Summer Forecast, Wet.” The set is expensive, complete, and the ultimate sound effects source. Perfect for a musician’s or filmmaker’s co-op.
