Destruction belongs to the most versatile and multifaceted events in terms of sound design. There are so many different acoustic elements playing together to form a bigger soundscape that is finally so much more than the sum of its parts. Sound designing a proper devastation is more than just layering impact and explosion sounds, it’s like a symphony of destruction, like an organized chaos with a multiplicity of sounds.
Our extensive DESTRUCTION SFX library contains exactly the sounds you need to create your own destructive masterpiece.

What we recorded
For this unique sound effects pack we recorded shattering and stressed glass, porcelain, wood, ice, metal, plastic, rock and more. We used a 20 ft forklift to increase the potential energy before smashing everything on the ground. We recorded a quarry explosion with about 50.000 tons of rock falling to the ground. We visited Germany’s leading school for pyrotechnicians to record some high-quality explosions.
What's so special about this library?
We tried to feature every aspect of DESTRUCTION in this sound FX library. Start with a small car crash where crushed metal meets hard rock. Imagine the fateful sound of a stressed glass pane right before it bursts into pieces. Think bigger – like a wooden cabin that gets smashed under a falling tree. Think of collapsing skyscrapers that crumble into dust. A whole ship moaning and groaning before it bursts and breaks into pieces – your possibilities are countless.
With DESTRUCTION, we deliver you the perfect toolkit to easily design those kind of scenarios.
What our clients think about Destruction
From time to time our clients directly approach us to tell us what they especially like about a specific sound pack.
We’d like to share this with you.
I am a big fan of BOOM libraries and own most of what they've put out. I work with Cartoon Network's Adult Swim and have done many of their shows over the years. I've used BOOM’s libraries on Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell, 12oz Mouse, Harvey Birdman, and almost exclusively used their car and weapon libraries on a show called Archer, years ago. I'll be starting new shows soon and will be looking to their libraries for a variety of different elements. Working primarily in Animation, I find the need to do a lot of Foley or look to the more obscure sound libraries to help build things that don't always exist in the real world. Libraries like BOOM’s Sci Fi, Magic, Fire, Destruction and the different animal libraries are hugely helpful.
In this day, beating the clock and delivering a phenomenal project is what we all strive for as sound designers. Since using the BOOM Libraries, I’ve found client’s having less critiques/suggestions and more approvals. I’ve also found that my time spent searching for sound effects drastically diminished. The quality BOOM delivers is second-to-none, to me, they are the leaders in a new wave of sound effects libraries. We use Magic/Sci-Fi/Destruction in almost every project we work with. When you’re ready to elevate your game, get BOOM.
Guardians of The Galaxy, Lost In Oz, Dead Bullet etc.
The sounds of each library work brilliantly with my projects. Since the quality is so high, it's very easy for me to add lots of processing/pitch shifting to help create even more unique sounds. I use a lot of the Magic bundle, Mechanicals, Creatures, Destruction, Sci-Fi, Cinematic Hits, Cinematic Metal, Cinematic Trailers, Close Combat, Everyday Cars, and Medieval Weapons. As you can see, I owe a lot of my success to the amazing tools BOOM has provided me!
