Wide range of train and engine types
BOOM Library’s TRAINS provides you with a huge selection of clean, high quality SFX. It includes sounds from almost any type of train and engine. Heavy freight trains, old and modern passenger trains with electric, steam and diesel engines.
Extensive interiors
The interior recordings were made on different locations such as the cockpit, the wagons, engine rooms, cabins, and even the restrooms.
Nothing left unrecorded
SFX from the outside contain drive-bys, departing and arriving trains, wheels, horns, grinding, rattling, squeaking, clacking, coupling, braking, air releases, and much more! To give you the full package, you get a mass of great interior and exterior handling sounds on top. Simply any sound you need for a realistic train environment, as always, delivered in high quality with 96kHz / 24-bit.
AVAILABLE IN 5.0 SURROUND
INCLUDING STEREO VERSION
50% of the TRAINS SFX library were recorded with a double M/S surround microphone setup. The surround version of our TRAINS library gives you all the sounds from the stereo version plus additional 33GB surround sounds to design great surround train ambiences with ease. To see which sounds come in 5.0 surround, please take a look at the content info document, available in the Tech Specs box below.
All sounds are delivered in high quality with 96kHz / 24-bit. The files come in unencoded double M/S and encoded 5.0 surround.
What we recorded
It took us some time to find that perfect recording spot: we rented an old train track in the eastern part of Germany to fully wire the trains and record all possible sounds. Apart from that we recorded trains in South Africa and the UK to further increase your sound design possibilities. The result is this gigantic TRAINS sound effects library that will surely help you for a long long time.
What's so special about this library?
The initial request to record the TRAINS sounds came from the crew of SNOWPIERCER, a fantastic Korean-US production, directed by Academy Award-winning director Bong Joon Ho featuring Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Ed Harris. The movie completely plays in a train that runs through a post-apocalyptic world. BOOM Library was asked to deliver top-notch train recordings to create a convincing and realistic atmosphere throughout the whole movie. With this TRAINS SFX library, you have access to exactly the same recordings.
What our clients think about Trains
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.
Ripper Street, Line of Duty, The Edge of Love, The Goob, The Whale, Banana etc.
I used BOOM's 'Trains' in 'Ripper Street S3'. They featured in the opening episode. They are a great set of recordings covering steam engines to modern electric trains. The 'Train' library was useful in Ripper street to obtain period locomotive sounds which I used for INT, EXT, carriages, pass bys, driving etc…With steam trains being hard to record I found BOOM's 'Trains' a welcoming addition to my SFX library.
