Road Sound Effects

Road sound effects from the roadside and from behind the wheel. Cars and motorbikes pass by alone or in groups, on wet roads and dry, while trucks and the odd siren go through at different speeds. Then the cabin. Tyre noise and the engine at speed, on the motorway and around town. Out in the country, a car goes by between the birds and dogs.

Wet roads and dry ones sound different enough that it pays to match the weather on screen, and the pass-bys here come in both. A single car suits a quiet street and a cut on the pass. Groups of cars and buses stack up into Traffic without layer upon layer of edits. Inside the car, road texture and revs at different speeds cover a run down the Highway and slower driving around town. The odd one out is a set of impulse responses taken in a forest, which can put any of these sounds out on a road through the trees.
