Cave sound effects for dark, dripping places. Water dropping into still pools, underground rivers rushing through the rock, bat colonies shuffling overhead and that heavy, echoing hush in between. Real caves and flooded sinkholes recorded on location, plus designed caverns for fantasy dungeons and creature lairs. Cold and very echoey.

A cave is defined by its echo. The size of the chamber and the hardness of the rock decide how long a Water Drip hangs in the air, so a small grotto and a huge Cavern sound nothing alike. Some recordings come dry as well as with the space baked in, which lets you place your own reverb. The real cave ambiences suit documentaries and survival games, with steady drips and distant water. Designed caves push it darker for fantasy, with rumbles and creature movement in the gloom.
