Windshield Sound Effects

Windshield sound effects for glass that's taking a beating, and for the screen a rider tucks behind. Real windshields smashed in a foley studio, with tension cracks, falling shards and debris sprinkling down. Plenty of crunch. Then the quieter side: rain heard from inside a vehicle, and the foley of vans and touring motorcycles.

Add Car Destruction to cart

The glass recordings were made by bringing real car doors and windshields into a controlled studio, so you get the whole break in stages: the tension crack, the smash, the shards falling and the debris settling, with scrapes and metal tool hits for rescue scenes. Ultrasonic glass libraries go further into detail, which leaves room to pitch them down, and more destruction sits in Shattered Glass. Windshield glass is laminated, which is why it cracks and holds together rather than bursting into pieces. Rain from inside a vehicle suits quieter drives, and the Sport Touring motorcycle recordings cover bikes with a screen of their own, from engine runs to foley.
