318 Royalty-Free Audio Tracks for "Ear"

Not sure how to describe this one. Some sort of feed back sounding white noise, very irritating to the ears.

Calming whistling sound for your ears and brain. Recorded this for my stupid game. Feel free to use this absolutely outstanding sound effec.

Bass sounds, heavily filtered, slight clipping in places! be careful your ears/equipment!. Might be useful, who knows.

An airplane toilet flushing. You can hear my son saying "cover your ears" in spanish just before the toilet flushes.

The sound of putting on glasses. The side arms of glasses moving through hair onto ears and head.

This is the latest homework i have done, for this one i imagined this:its as if you were hearing from the ears of the person in the cashier spot, at a busy restaurant, this person gets caught in a time wrap and they start to like trip on these sounds from the kitchen, the stage across the bar, and even them turning a page on their boring magazine. If you read this and haven't played it yet, close your eyes and imagine you're that person and tell me what you feel!. At this point i have learned about effects and all that(still no pro), so be sure to listen with earphones for the best experience!sounds i used:. The busy kitchen (but i used the texture i made from it, you can see it in my other uploads) from cpark12 https://freesound. Org/people/cpark12/the funky free saxophone from insigner https://freesound. Org/people/insinger/the water faucet from redafs https://freesound. Org/people/redafs/the pan bam (as i like to call it) from jonascz https://freesound. Org/people/jonascz/the page turn from lawnjelly https://freesound. Org/people/lawnjelly/.

Deep space ambience created by synthesizing noise and applying filters to make it sound like you're cupping your ears.

A very low bass frequency, sounds horrible, beware of your speakers and your ears, don't have volume turned up a lot!!!!!!!!.

I made sure that the file is under -6db so you won't hurt your ears :). Recorded with yeti mic. .

A flashbang grenade explodes and the sound of your ears ringing

This is a recording of laptop fan. Recorded with mobile phone camera. Keep volume down so you don't hurt your ears.

I combined a lot of fx from this site to make a huge explosion with a large aftermath and ringing in the ears- to make it a more 'cinematic' moment, i have a build up in reverse to the moment, a pause, then the explosion. Rubble and glass fall as the listeners' ears ring from the explosion.

Just a recording of a bug in my room. Some cricket or grasshopper which got in. Curious as i am, my ears guided me towards it. :-).

Firework bang (right back). Recorded with experimental dummy head. Replica of own ears. 20mm. Dia. 'studio' condenser mics. Roland quad capture.

Send something through a grain delay, cranked up the feedback and put a limiter after it in the chain, in order to protect my ears.

Sharp rain sound on canvas awning over concrete stairwell, with some low rumbles from wind flapping the canvas. Recorded with microphones tucked behind ears for fairly good binaural effect.

We develop iphone app that perform musical analysis on recorded audio from the iphone. Our app implementation make use of the audio queue service to receive raw audio buffers from the audio queue callback. In the first version of our app we had the problem of too much clipping on the recording which degrade the accuracy of our analysis. We also suspected that the noise canceling algorithm in iphone 5 produce distorted sound, which is not much noticeable by human ear but distorted enough to affect our sensitive algorithm. We found that the solution to our problem is to set the audio session mode to kaudiosessionmode_measurement. This session mode is supposed to give maximum freedom for us to control the microphone input, which include turning off the automatic gain control and probably noise canceling as well. The solution works very well except that it introduce a strange waveform pattern in the beginning of all recordings in iphone 5. It is very hard to explain the waveform we get, so i made two recordings at freesound so that you can see it visually. The first recording is made in an almost quite environment, and you can see the weird spike in the beginning of the recording. The second recording (this recording) is made with constant background noise, and you can see that the actual sound wave is offset from the strange curve and gradually increase to its original volume. This waveform only happens on iphone 5 devices that we tested, and there is no problem at all for iphone 4s and older generations. We have tried various settings and the glitch is still unavoidable as long as we set the audio session mode to kaudiosessionmode_measurement. We also find similar glitch in one of our iphone 5 devices, in which the glitch happens even if we try to set just the input gain level without changing the session mode. We are not sure if this is a hardware-related bug in iphone 5, or if it is fixable software glitch in the future version of ios. For the moment we are looking for workaround that can avoid this glitch while automatic gain control and noise canceling are disabled.

Electro-magnetic interference from the colorino talking color identifier and light probe when held near the internal ferrite antenna on the back right of a 13-year-old boombox near the bottom of the am broadcast band, from 530 to 580 khz. You first hear the device inactive being brought near the radio. This gives a low buzz of stacato clicks. At about 00:23 the light probe button is briefly pushed, you hear a quick boop of the light probe with low light level combined with the beginning of the white noise of the device active. If you put your ear near it after you use it, you will hear a slight hiss from the audio amplifier carrier idling for about a minute after last use. On the am radio this translates to white noise. At 00:26 there is a double click and a distorted voice says black. The voice is being picked up by the am radio. 10 seconds of white noise and i press the color button again and it says black. I put something else over the color sensor and it says a few more things. At 00:51 i hold down the light probe button and try to point it at the light above my desk while still holding it close enough to the radio to pick up the emi signal. You hear a warbling tone at 00:59 as the light reaching the sensor increases and decreases in brightness depending on how it's pointed. The signal fades in and out as the device is moved around. This has all happened at 530 khz. At 01:37 i step the radio up to 580 khz where you get a stronger signal. Wibw from topeka competes with the noise throughout the rest of the file. At 01:51 you hear the distorted error beep as i press the color button without anything but air and light in front of the color sensor. It must be pressed up against the thing you want the color of, or it gets in too much ambient light and errors out with a loud protesting beep.

Six samples,taken from my roland jv 1080. The unnatural sound of the loops didn`t sound good to my ears,so i created new loops. I used audacity,audials and magix.

Husking ears of corn. Recorded with cardioid akg c2000b. Trimmed out empty space. Denoised computer hum. Normalized peaks to 0db.

Again a nice chord from a clock bell. That one is recorded from the inside which gives a smoother sound. Not that heavy on ears. Again recorded with a tascam dr100.

Close your eyes and listen to the composition that nature is playing before you. Walk around quietly, with nothing interrupting your ears. Go out and record some sounds wihtout labeling them, then bring them back and try to identify every sound you hear on playback. It's tough, but it's a good way to train your ears. Another selection from the fairhaven audio archives. See my page for a copy of the whole 6+ hours worth of high fidelity, royalty free recordings.

Binaural recording of onions being peeled, cut on a small wooden board and fried in a pan. Refrigerator hum in background. Mics: vt403 mounted in ears.

As i was trying to create a “reggae bass” i made this loop. In my ears it sounds like reggae… but i’m no expert. Not at all. What do you say? does it sound like reggae?.

Great for you ears and your tracks. Please remember to post a link of what you do with it for others to get inspired!. This loop is in 122bpm.

A slow sound effect for a transition with gentle reverbness to ease the ears :). Please let us know for what purpose you used this effect for inspiration and adding more sfx to this collection. Thanks!.

This sound of two pieces of glass friction against each other is torture for many, at least pain or unbearable for sensitive ears. Played back with powerful treble speakers , you would enjoy all shouting 'eeeeeeeeeee. . . . Stop it!'.

Recorded with a pair of okm mikes in my ears and a roland r09 recorder. I was walking in the forest close to the atlantic ocean in south-west of france until i met a guy and his machine cutting pine trees.

Short (but non-obvious) loop of ambient ventilation fan drone in a small concrete room. Sounds good slowed down by 50% for a bigger fan in a bigger room. Recorded with microphones tucked behind ears for fairly good binaural effect.

Artificial waterfall sound created using audacity. I created two brownian noise tracks and assigned one to the left channel and one to the right for a stereo effect. Using brownian noise means less high frequency noise that is harsh on the ears.

The chorus of cicadas and frogs we hear every night just after sunset here in sub tropical queensland. Recorded directly to my computer by shoving an akg c451eb out our patio door. Keen ears will hear our cast miaow once.

A spray bottle, of the kind used to wet hair or do gardening, being sprayed. The trigger mechanism of the bottle makes a weird squeaking sound, which to my ears sounds a little like a small duck quacking.

Testing the sennheiser mke 2002 binaural microphones (circa 1973), playing bongos resting on my lap. The microphones are designed to be mounted either on a dummy head or - as i use them here - a user's own ears. Binaural recordings require headphones for full effect.

I was playing around with special effects with some scream recordings i did. They are really silly and weird and just plain fun :p. *caution: may kill your ears if wearing headphones*. Please credit me if used and send me links to your projects!. ~arigato.

Mountainside forest, high elevation, thunderstorms in the vicinity. Recorded using a sound professionals ms-tfb-2 binaural headset microphone worn in my ears and their 12vdc power box connected to a griffin usb imic and laptop running audacity. +6db digital gain applied.

Binaural recording of flies and a crow using roland cs-10em microphone. In the end the crow takes flight, pumping its wings. Fly sounds buzzing near ears are similar to atmosphere sounds in german tv series dark.

Sound made on modular. Today i cant come up with no cool name for my sound. I hope "fussy" is an okay name for a sick rhythm. "fussy" sounds sweet in my ears. Google corrects me, "do you mean 'fuzzy'?". No, i dont. I want fussy. . . Eehhh well. . . .

I have created this bass out of my voice, it is pretty rough for ears if you have got a good headphones or repro. I had to widen it and make it sound more dynamically. Enjoy!.

A plastic desk clock ticking away. I placed the microphone realllyyyyy ridiculously close to the clock to try and minimize room-sound, so hopefully this will help someone somewhere! :). Also rendered the sample so it has the ability to loop easily (i think. . . To my ears and a 60bpm grid anyway). Enjoy!.

Because i consider myself primarily a harsh noise producer, i decided to upload a few examples for those who have ears still virgin to the horrors of terrorous hardcore industrial noise.

This is a binaural recording of a restaurant with kitchen sounds and people chatter. Recorded with a diy dummy head binaural mic setup using a styrofoam dummy head, humanlike silicone ears, and dpa 4060 omnidirectional mics. Enjoy.

Yep, analog filters. . . Everything is analog!no, wait the reverb is digital. And this recording. But the noise that reaches your ears is analog. My little modular synth is playing a patch just for you. Or world is a big ad/da converter!!!. I failed at the fade out. . . Sorry for that.

Very empty metro station in parisannouncements are done and very few people walking by, escalator is stopping at a certain pointn. B. This is a binaural recording with my okm soundman microphones placed inside my ears, so for headphone use only (for best results).

Decided to call this sound "electronic modular rhythm" since i found only one other spot on the net with that combination of words. Probably is there some sort of mistake to write like that, but now we are two to make that mistake. This is straight out of the modular. No processing but amplification. Please find a part that loops nice in your ears.

88 piano keys, long natural reverb: up to 13 seconds per note. This is me giving back. I love freesound. You guys saved my bacon back in the day. Recently i searched for free piano notes for a game i'm making, but the only ones i could find ended too quickly. I need long reverb! luckily i have an old piano, so i made my own. So this is me giving back. This is an old piano!!!. We had the piano tuned a year ago, but it is well over 60 years old, so be warned! these notes have character! if you want perfect tone, either edit them individually, generate something artificially, or buy a professional set. But if you want a piano with personality, this is for you. Being an old piano, it only has 85 keys. So i created the highest 3 notes by speeding up previous notes, to make the modern standard 88 keys. How the notes were created. The notes are created on an old (well over 50 years) steinhoff upright piano. It only has 85 keys, so i faked the highest 3 keys by taking previous keys and changing their pitch. I opened the top, balanced my trusty everesta bm-800 condenser microphone across the top near the high note end, and held down the "loud" pedal. Each note was then hit and kept pressed down until i could no longer hear any reverb. Notes were saved as mp3 using my laptop, using free sound recorder on the highest quality settings. Yeah, i know it isn't flac, but i am strictly amateur with budget to match, and that was the best i could do. After that, all editing was of course uncomopressed until the final save. How the notes were edited. Editing was kept to a minimum, mainly to enhance the reverberation. All editing took place on audacity on linux mint. First i cropped any silence from the start. Next, used the envelope function to gradually increae volume to 200% over a couple of seconds. That is, the quietest part of the reverb is twice as loud as you might expect. Because for my game i sometimes need a single piano key to last ten seconds. Next i maximised the volume. If there was just a single stray waveform that stuck out then i reduced that by 2db or so then maximised again. Because like i said, i want to hear that reverb! i then found the part where background noise starts to be noticeable, and faded out over 1 second or so. This meant that the lowest notes had as much as 13 seconds of reverb, whereas the highest notes might only have 2 or so. Finally i checked the result, and edited three or four notes that i felt were just too ugly (badly tuned, or for some reason the software suddenly got hissy when the note became too quiet. Weird. ) i also slightly changed the pitch of a couple of notes that were slightly out of tune but otherwise ok. No doubt a better ear than mine could teak all of the notes. But as i said, it's an old piano and we're keeping it real. Finally, files were compressed to ogg at the highest quality setting, using soundkonverter. Why not flac?. I live in the countryside with very slow broadband, so i apologise for including more of the original files. But as it was, uploading this zip file took about an hour. Enjoy. Legal. Use this for anything you want, commercial or not, credit me or not. Consider it public domain. My main concern is that i had completely legal sound for my game, with nice long reverb and character. Uploading it here provides proof that i created it first, just in case anybody comes back and says "those are mine" (it happens).

Yes, i'm crazy to stick my head with roland cs10m mics in my ears attached to an olympus ls14 through my back porch door during a hail storm, but what i heard could not be missed. The constant, almost non-stop rull of thunder lends an erie quality to this midnight storm in madison, nj. Got popped on the nose with a couple little stones, but it was worth it.

Some raw one-shots from my doepfer a-100 modular synthesizer recorded and edited using ni maschine. In my ears they sound way better with a bit of compression, but i thought the unprocessed files would be more useful. Naming is super vague. Recorded back in may 2014. It's always nice to hear what projects you use these sounds for. Let me know.

Just makes your ears hurt, doesn't it? could be great for something like a machine having a complete meltdown, or a robot going haywire. Created by taking a stock sound effect of guitar plugs being pulled and distorting, reversing, stretching, looping, adding phaser, flanger, vibrato, tremolo, i can't even remember what else, like there's no tomorrow. All done in wavepad. I also tried to make it loop, but it's up to you whether i succeeded or not.
