Quadcopter Sound Effects

Quadcopter sound effects recorded from real drones, from little toys to big camera rigs. Takeoffs, manoeuvres, pass-bys and the odd crash, at a range of distances, outdoors and in the studio. Very buzzy. Up close there's handling foley and mechanical and electrical detail, and the toy drone adds servo textures and its own electronic beeps.

Quadcopter recordings follow the motors. Every move the pilot makes changes the motor speed and with it the pitch of the buzz, which is why the manoeuvres and motor modulations cut so easily to picture. Several libraries record at different distances and perspectives, and a binaural set catches pass-bys along with the wind the props push around. The full drone sets cover flying, foley, mechanical and electrical sounds for each machine, from the smallest folding models to heavier camera drones. Crashes are in there too. Toy drones suit kids' films and comedy, and the bigger ones suit surveillance scenes and sci-fi gadgets.
