Every file is meticulously labeled with precise, well-structured metadata, ensuring effortless searchability and seamless integration into professional workflows.
The Most Flexible Thunder Sound Library Ever
From stereo to surround, Dolby Atmos, and Ambisonics, THUNDERSTORM CHASER is the most versatile thunder sfx library available. Thanks to the Schoeps ORTF-3D microphone setup, these recordings immerse audiences in the storm, making them perfect for cinematic productions, VR experiences, and high-end game sound design.
Beyond Thunder – The Full Storm Experience
While thunder is the star, this collection also captures the full storm environment:
Our 3D Surround libraries are recorded with the highly-acclaimed Schoeps ORTF-3D setup, a cuboid 8ch level/time difference ambience setup. The main benefit is an additional height layer compared to regular surround recording setups. It consists of 8 supercardioid microphones.
BOOM Library ORTF3D-Setup
The height layer offers a much wider range of spatial sound effects and a more realistic three-dimensional reproduction. Therefore, it provides a clearer representation of spatial depth, a more natural surround impression, improved envelopment, and an authentic feel.
Recording thunderstorms isn’t just challenging – it’s dangerous. Matt Mikkelsen spent six years tracking storms, consulting meteorologists, and setting up state-of-the-art recording rigs in extreme conditions. In one session, he was nearly struck by lightning, a terrifying reminder of the immense power he was capturing.
This is more than a sound effects library—it’s the result of an obsession with capturing the perfect storm. Six years of tracking storms across Colorado and beyond, using the best field recording techniques available, has produced an unmatched collection of thunder and storm sounds.
