Sounds of South America

Sounds of South America is a true sonic snapshot of the South American continent.

These high-quality sound recordings were taken in Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Argentina.

We travelled the long way going places where tourists rarely visit, capturing the sounds of everyday local life.

From stadium football matches, to local kids playing in the streets, birds and wildlife, specific regional accents unique to each country, street protests, restaurants and cafes, markets, parades and festivals, bubbling volcanic geysers, church services, various types of transport and so much more.

Sounds of South America was recorded with the intention to be particularly useful for post-production environments with a range of genuine and rare sounds you can expect to hear in these countries.

We really hope you enjoy this extensive, high-quality sound pack.

All tracks recorded by Evan Buist, sound engineer and field recordist (National Geographic, DreamWorks, Paramount Pictures).
