Sci Fi Sound Effects

Sci Fi sound effects for spaceships and the screens on board them. Laser guns, plasma weapons, robots chattering away and retro engines humming at idle, plus menus and computer interfaces that beep and whirr when someone touches them. Some is clean and modern. Some sounds like an old B-movie, which is exactly what certain scenes want.

Sci-fi sound is mostly invented, which is the fun of it. Nobody has heard a real laser rifle, so it has to be believable rather than accurate. The trick is usually a real source underneath: a metal spring for a blaster, a fridge hum slowed down for a reactor, a hydraulic hiss for an airlock and a servo pitched up for a Robot. The weapon libraries here give you whole arsenals, with shots and reloads that match. For the ship, the retro engines come as idles and passes, and there's more in Spaceship. The interface side covers the beeps and confirms on a bridge console, with plenty more in Interface. Games use the lot. So do trailers, and anything set a long way from here.
