Welcome to the Hzandbits sound effects library.

Sounds from Hzandbits have been used in a number of cinematic releases and customers include several well-known sound designers (like this guy).

You'll find wind sounds, ambiance sfx and sound design elements among the sound effects bundles here, all in 24bits/96kHz resolution with BWF metadata, as file names which are both searchable and human-readable.

As recordist and sound designer, my approach is to offer small(ish) sound collections, each focused on a single topic, but with enough variation within the topic to make for a flexible and usable collection of sfx. This can mean recording a location from multiple angles or creating interesting variations of designed sounds. Usually, this results in sound libraries counting from a few dozen recordings (typical of my ambiance collections) to a few hundred sounds (specifics and shorter design elements).

Some websites offer huge downloads with tons of content, and in some cases, that makes sense. You probably already have some of those - you probably don't need a lot more.

I want to provide you with sound effects downloads of exactly the sounds you need - or perhaps sounds you haven't heard before. With that said, go ahead and browse. I hope you find what you are looking for - or perhaps something better.

How I make sound effects libraries:

Field recording and studio work are two different things, requiring different approaches. In both cases however, I am often guided by chance and opportunity, and sometimes I tend to do what is interesting over what is "safe". Therefore there is often a lot of variation from one sound effects library to the next. I don't specialize in cars, guns or birds, but simply focus on what I find interesting, or what seems to be missing from the sfx market.

In terms of equipment, I do field recording in mid-side as well as A-B stereo, using Sennheiser MKH mics, Primo electrets and a classic (old) SQN field mixer among other things. Above all, if it will make an interesting sound or record a sound, I will use it - whether it is a modular synth; a large tactile transducer or the Spring Box.

Email subscriber advantages:

Because I value my customers and visitors, email subscribers always get a solid release discount whenever a new sound library comes out (usually 20% off). That means a single-use, site-wide discount, which you can use to buy the latest library - or any other* - and as many as you want. If this sounds good to you, you can sign up to the Hzandbits email list. As a subscriber you also get access to free downloads of sounds from each Hzandbits release in The Vault, which contains 1 Gb of sounds and counting - in full HD quality.

Shopping & support at Hzandbits:

I strive to make the shopping experience as secure and painless as possible for my customers. I offer secure downloads of purchases, and even a 30-day money-back guarantee, should you not be completely satisfied with the quality of the sounds. Payment is currently only available through PayPal.

In case of any technical problems with the site, downloads and sounds, please do not hesitate to contact me for help or see the FAQ. I have yet to let a customer down.
