Pump Sound Effects

Pump sound effects for all sorts of machinery, wet and dry. Aquarium and jacuzzi pumps feed bubbles into the water, recorded next to dry ice and plain bubbling. Wet stuff. Room tones put a pump in the background of a home, alongside a humming fridge, and an industrial boiler room has its pumps running with the boilers. The shotgun kind is here as well.

A pump mostly lives in the background: a motor running under a fish tank or a hot tub, low in the mix. The aquarium recordings let you build that from parts, with the pump on one layer and bubbles on top, some made with dry ice. The room tones were made with VR in mind and catch everyday spaces, a fridge humming and a porch in the rain. Industrial pumps come from a boiler room recorded with contact mics as well as stereo ones, so the pipework itself is in there, and for compressed air rather than water there's Compressor. Then there's the shotgun pump, the action that loads the next shell, recorded along with shell loading and the safety switch.
