Departure sound effects for anything pulling away. Trains leaving the platform after the doors shut and a last announcement, and steam engines chuffing off in a cloud. Old trams too. Then the faster kind, with supercars launching away and the gears snapping through as they go. Every departure has the same shape: close and loud at the start, then fading into the distance.

A good departure needs space around it. The recordings here are mostly long, so you hear the whole build from a standstill to nothing, which a short clip with a fade can't fake. On the railway that means the brakes letting go and the clatter speeding up over the joints. For cars it's the Acceleration from rest, heard onboard or from the kerb, with each Gearshift cutting in. Even small electric vehicles have a departure, a rising whine instead of a roar. Many of these libraries cover the Arrival as well, so a scene can open and close on the same train. Films use departures for goodbyes. Games use them to say the level's over.
