Shelf Sound Effects

Shelf sound effects for the stuff that rattles, wobbles and comes crashing down. Bottles shaking on a shelf and smashing off it, crates dragged and stacked, and a metal shelf shaken and scraped with contact mics until it squeals. Wood and metal hits around them. Lots of clanks. A supermarket ambience is here as well, for the shop floor itself.

A shelf on its own is rarely the sound. It's what's on it, and what happens to it. The bottle recordings cover rattles and wobbles on the shelf, then the smash, the drop and the debris, which is the whole sequence for a shelf getting knocked in a bar fight. For the kitchen version there's a Freezer as well. The metal shelf goes the other way: recorded with contact microphones, it gives eerie, resonant squeals and scrapes that suit horror and sci-fi. Metal impacts, a tackle box full of hardware and wood drops fill in the smaller knocks around all of it.
