Courtyard Sound Effects

Courtyard sound effects, found inside bigger collections of city, temple and village ambience. Church bells over narrow streets, temple bells and wind chimes, and footsteps, birds, market crowds and walla in the spaces in between. Calm or busy. They're recorded through the day and into the night, so a courtyard can sit at whatever hour the scene needs.

Courtyards borrow their sound from the streets and buildings around them, so these come from city and temple ambiences rather than a single kind of recording. There are narrow alleys and shopping streets with church bells, a Cathedral and the river, and temple grounds with prayer bells, wishing bells and crowd Walla. Several are recorded in ambisonics, which helps when a game camera turns around inside the space. Some add designed extras. For a hotel or monastery courtyard, keep the bells and birds and lose the traffic; for a city block, let the Traffic in. They suit period dramas, travel scenes and open world towns.
