Underground Sound Effects

Underground sound effects for anywhere below street level. Real caves with dripping water and rivers running through the dark, a working coal mine with its shafts and conveyors, and subway trains screeching on the rails. Very different places. Then the designed ones, underground labs and dungeons, for when the real thing needs to feel stranger.

Underground spaces come down to hard surfaces and long reflections, and the Cave recordings here have both, with echoing chambers and colonies of bats. The Mine recordings cover the industrial side, where heavy machinery and conveyors work at the surface and far below it. Then the transport. Train and subway ambiences cover the Platform and the carriage, with announcements and passengers chatting. Designed sets take it further, into labs and dungeons, and a designed cave set comes both dry and with its reverb, so the space can be set later in the mix. They suit survival games and documentaries.
