83 Royalty-Free Audio Tracks for "Dissonant"

Made this for our mobile game, pie or die! sound clip was created on garage band using the grand piano effect. 7/31/14.

Applied hourglass to glass-bowing sounds with transposition spread set to more than 1…2 semitones, resulting in tense dissonant sound.

Hitting the strings inside a grand piano with a hard plastic mallet. Played with sweeps and single hits that are stopped or left to ring out.

Low minor second interval in a grand piano plus a timpani attack, with long resonance.

Stretched organ and oboe with distorted chimes played on keyboard. Switches between dissonant inharmonious and concordsideal for background to create an eerie suspense.

A remake (made using beepbox. Co) of the sound of a cyber-gun shooting in the 1966 doctor who episode "the tenth planet". The sound is basically just a dissonant beep.

This is a short, dissonant loop made with a neapolitan mandolin. This has been recorded with an sm7b into a rme interface, and quantized to 148bpm in logic pro x. This is a dry file with no other processing. I used it on a couple of old-school hip-hop beats to trigger effects or completely butchering with distortion for some extra textures. I thought it might come in handy to rap producers out there! if you do something with it, i would love to check it out!. I was recording an acoustic version of a song called "closer" by my band dead rituals, and a friend let me borrow this old neapolitan mandolin. I made some random noises by picking behind the strings at the end of a take, and i decided to sample it!.

Percussive drums rhythm cutting out the crap with a few wavy lines in it. 14 splices in the reel for morphagene fans @48khz and 32 bit. Enjoy!.

A distorted melody mixes in with creepy roaring sounds. This is a reversed version of another sound, about as unsettling. Makes your head pound. Original ver. : http://www. Freesound. Org/people/laiskvorst/sounds/194722/.

This is a mono recording of a psaltery. This was recorded as-found with no tuning or cleaning done to the instrument. It is a series of single tones followed by two note chords. Dissonant and full of texture. It was recorded using an audio-technica at875r microphone at 48khz/24bit.

Short melody performed on a moog grandmother with the spring reverb turned pretty high which is what the dissonance between notes. It was recoreded into ableton live 10 using a focusrite 2i2 audio interface at 44. 4 khz in dallas texas on a rainy night.

Bohlen-Pierce chord: 0,1,2 (semitones), the most dissonant chord. Currently at 0, 169.75, and 310.88 cents. Title refers to number of semitones (unison=0).

A thirteenth chord "collapsed" into one octave results in a dissonant, seemingly secundal[1] tone cluster. Created by Hyacinth (talk) 22:18, 5 July 2009 using Sibelius 5.

Makes me picture some sort of detective. Credit is appreciated, but i understand that keeping track is kind of a pain. If you use it in your project, feel free to send me a link! i'd love to see it! :).

Soundscape comment on the liminal world as winter readies for bed while spring yet to rise. I played keyboard in piano and organ chorus mode then layered tracks using audacity to "paulstretch" the dissonant chords to be resolved by the concordsif you want to see this piece with video https://youtu. Be/muka46kd8xk.

An mp3 recording of a large crowd talking and chatting while instruments are warming up - the overall effect is a rather dissonant cacophony. This recording was taken during a performance at the colorado symphony on january 28th (2017). Recorded with a black sony ic voice recorder.

A short section of electronic music created in logic with sculpture soft synth, mastered yet fully dynamic and ready to go. Enjoy! 16bit. Wav 44100.

Old experiments using a simple 8 bit vst controlled by a midi keyboard. Recorded in real time by messing around with my effects rack in my daw, changing effect orders on the fly, disabling and enabling things etc. Very fun stuff :d.

Some noise made to sound like the noise generators used in analog drum synthesizers for things like cymbals. Made with helm, 4 comb filters, and a high-pass filter. Helm to generate square wave dissonance, comb filters to add stereo and more "structured noise" quality, and high pass filter to hide the lower overtones.

A dark and dissonant hit on the very low piano keys. With a bit of eq to increase the low rumble and a lot of reverb. Not a real piano but a vst instrument. Suitable for e. G. Horror films and games. The versions (a) and (b) of each sound in this pack are the same notes but on different pianos with sligthly different settings. Post-processing: eq & reverb.

A loud orchestral stab for a horror reveal. Credit is appreciated, but i understand that keeping track is kind of a pain. If you use it in your project, feel free to send me a link! i'd love to see it! :).

This sound was created using the risset tone generator in audiomulch. I added some timbral complexity using the shaper and granulator effects before running it through some delay and reverb. This particular sound has a dissonant, almost violin-like quality. Hopefully this sound might be of use for soundtracks of various kinds. It should be easy to loop, if you need it to be longer.

Four notes recorded from the same person to create this "heavenly choir" cluster chord. Some reverb added. Created for a production of jesus christ superstar when he is crucified. Edit: i see a lot of people are enjoying this sound! if you'd like to donate a dollar or two towards my personal starving artist fund here is a donation link: https://www. Paypal. Me/baharv89.

I made this using two oscillators in native instrument's fm8 synth. There is nothing too fancy, just two sine waves played out the same output, but one has an offset of 440hz, and the second oscillator has an offset of 330hz. I then just played two notes that didn't sound too dissonant, and then ran it through some low-fi processing.

Arpeggios in bm key : bm, am5b, g, f#7. Played on acoustic nylon guitar. Melancholic / sad feeling, the second chord has a dissonant flat dominant to give a hint of strangeness to the phrase. Sound capture using internal guitar electronics (godin multiac grand concert duet). Recording device is a tascam gt-r1. Initial sound was stereo with left and light sides 180 degrees out of phase. I converted to mono using audacity. Recorded on the 12-dec-2015 in houston, texas.

This sound was created by mistake and i thought it sound perfectly like a bad transmission from radio or spacestation. I´ve cut the audiofile so it is loopable. And as always if you like this sound, feel free to use it for your production. Just give me credit. For individual sounddesign just hit me up. Cheersxdimebagx.

This jump scare sound was created by playing 2 dissonant chords on a single coil telecaster mic'd up w/ a vox ac 10 amp. The two guitar tracks are panned left and right- reverb and delay are added. Additionally, frequency enhancers were added between 4khz - 6khz which adds a higher tonal energy in the upper range of the guitar. Gain is added which can be heard as signal noise mostly at the end of the clip. Enjoy. Bainmack.

Another free instrumental by anonymous producer mesostic. At a slow tempo, and with dissonant synthy chords, this is the perfect track for a hardline rapper to spit out some lines to. Or maybe it would make a great quirky soundtrack to your next homespun film project. The song was written in Ableton Live using Ableton core instruments and the U-He Diva soft synth on the lead line. Mesostic has also shared all stems here on Wikimedia for your remixing, extending and sampling delight.

This jump scare sound was created by playing 2 dissonant chords on a single coil telecaster mic'd up w/ a vox ac 10 amp. The two guitar tracks are panned left and right- reverb and delay are added. The delay tail you can hear oscillates between left and right speaker as it fades. Additionally, frequency enhancers were added between 4khz - 6khz which adds a higher tonal energy in the upper range of the guitar. Gain is added which can be heard as signal noise mostly at the end of the clip. Enjoy. Bainmack.

This is a version of a previous file i created (https://freesound. Org/people/funwithsound/sounds/394897/)that includes a gong at the end to make it more dramatic. The link to the gong sound is here: https://freesound. Org/people/veiler/sounds/209917/. It would be really nice of you to credit the user "veiler" for their awesome gong sound, and maybe me for making the failure sound. But no obligations. :-). While perusing freesound for a nice and dramatic sound or two of failures, all the ones i've seen were pretty wimpy, so-to-speak. So i decided to create a few failure samples on a music-making program called musescore. These are for big whopper failures (or "epic failures") and are very dramatic - they may also be used for a scary event in a film or play. It includes a short buildup and a loud dissonant chord at the end to create suspense and horror. For this project i used violins, violas, cellos, double basses, timpani, cymbals and brass. Enjoy!.
