Recording old metal foley sound effects in Cyprus

My “foley studio” is the world and to find unique sound effects, I have to go out and be creative. Sometimes I visit unusual places like the abandoned mine in Mitsero, Cyprus. The mine was surrounded by many metal surfaces and rusty machinery.

With a hammer, I recorded impact sounds on different metallic pieces inside the main building. I shuffled broken window glass with my shoes and was able to capture probably one of the best sound effects outside.

Near the deep mine shaft, I found two levers that created an intense rusty squeaking sounds. This spooky recording is perfect for sound design or experimental music makers. If you’re looking for mechanical sound effects, I think this sound library is for you! You can download these sound effects royalty-free and can be used for any commercial or non-commercial use.
