Recording door knocker sound effects at an abandoned home in Thailand

If you’re into urban exploring like me then we have a treat for you! While living in Chiangmai, Thailand I found out about an abandoned village in a jungle! Thanks to a friend (who has lived in the area for a long time) I was able to find the exact location to record these sounds!

He told me about a half-abandoned village in the middle of the forest south of Doi Suthep. The drive with the motorbike from Chiangmai is about 40 minutes and when we arrived I was mind blown about the state of affairs!

Along a small river, there were several large villas that were built as a luxury hideaway. Unfortunately, the project was never finished due to legal issues and funding, and the homes there abandoned to the nature around them.

After our little expedition, we came across this one abandoned house with this huge tower to the right and I saw the door knocker and felt like “Game Of Thrones”. I knocked on the door and the squeaking sound was already amazing but the natural reverb made it even better.

Now you know where I got these door knocker sound effects and I hope you’re able to use them in your upcoming personal or commercial project!
