Container Sound Effects

Container sound effects at both ends of the scale. The big end is steel shipping containers, struck for heavy metal impacts or lifted by cranes and straddle carriers at a working port, with a container ship out at sea as well. The small end is in the kitchen: cookware, glassware, food packaging and condiments, for the containers you open every day.

On the industrial side, a hit on a shipping container gives a proper Metallic Impact, and those recordings sit alongside anvils and heavy equipment, layered and edited for film and games. At the Port, cranes and straddle carriers shift containers around a terminal, recorded in winter with no birds getting in the way. Clean to cut. The kitchen side is smaller, with cookware and food packaging. Both suit games where containers get opened and moved about, and films that cut from a dock to a kitchen.
