Book Sound Effects

Book sound effects, from a quiet page turn to an old tome creaking open. Foley of books and newspapers, with page turns, tears and cuts. Antique books bring creaking leather and the handling of an old, dusty library. Then the magic starts. Enchanted tomes for fantasy games, where a book is as likely to cast a spell as to be read.

Add Turning The Page to cart

Most book foley comes down to the Page Turn. A slow turn suits study or suspense, a quick flick suits a frantic search, and the paper changes the sound as much as the hand does, from glossy pages to thick old ones. Pen and stationery recordings sit alongside, so the writing and the reading in a desk scene can match. The antique books add the weight of an old binding and its leather creaking. For fantasy, the enchanted sets put magic on top of the handling, and the RPG and inventory libraries cover the game side.
