Home devices Sound Effects Library
COVER
Library Overview & Details
The Home Devices sound library delivers 100 high-quality sound effects capturing 50 different household appliances and domestic electronic items. Designed for film sound designers, game audio engineers and post production professionals, this collection spans a wide variety of domestic equipment, ranging from vintage mechanical alarm clocks, doorbells and retro vacuum cleaners to modern smart robotic vacuums, air conditioners, steam irons, lint Shavers and handheld appliances. Recorded on location with clean shotgun and boundary microphone setups, this library provides detailed operational hums, motor whines, mechanical clicks, steam bursts and electronic status tones for realistic domestic soundscapes and user interface design.
Whether you need authentic background hums for residential scene beds, detailed mechanical props for Foley work or specific motor speeds for sound design layering, this library offers isolated coverage across a broad spectrum of everyday home technology.
50 distinct device models: Features 100 assets across 50 home devices including smart home robotics like iRobot Roomba e5 and Braava 390t, vintage regional classics like Sloboda Super 700 MK vacuum cleaner and Elektronska Industrija Eida S 90 door bell, as well as steam irons, fan heaters, gas lighters, air conditioners, fabric shavers and alarm clocks.
Comprehensive operational coverage: Documents multiple speed variations, motor speed changes, power on/off cycles, steam bursts, button clicks, alarm rings and robotic status feedback tones.
Pristine high-resolution capture: Recorded uniformly at 32-bit float / 192 kHz to ensure maximum dynamic range, low noise floor and exceptional pitch-shifting flexibility for post-production processing.
Detailed mechanical and acoustic texture: Captures subtle mechanical motor rumbles, high-frequency air movements, electrical buzzes and precise transient clicks using focused shotgun and boundary capsules.
