War Sound Effects

War sound effects, from the front line to the radio room. Tanks firing and blowing up, artillery shells landing, rare Second World War firearms at several distances, and military radio chatter crackling with static. Loud, mostly. There are battle ambiences recorded at historical reenactments as well, and designed explosions for when the real thing isn't big enough.

A war scene gets built in layers. Underneath goes the ambience, battle recorded at reenactments, with distant blasts and Artillery further off. On top go the spot effects: tank shots and reloads, and period firearms recorded at different distances so they can sit near or far. Radio chatter and Soldier voices tie it to people, with static and walkie-talkie transmissions for orders coming in. The designed explosion sets add whooshes and cannon shots that suit a trailer or a cutscene. Older and newer wars are here too, from medieval battle to futuristic war technology.
