HISS and a ROAR released Gate Slams sound fx library

Jul 30, 2026No Comments

HISS and a ROAR has introduced a new library featuring the sounds of farm gates slamming on wood and metal.

Back in September 2025 I visited my nephews farm to record lambs & sheep… I noticed their covered yards. I spent a few hours in the yards, slamming gates!
While the yards are covered with a roof, there are no walls so the slams feel exterior with no noticeable verb or slap…. Mostly the gates and yards are mounted onto large wood upright poles, so I captured impacts & slams:
– wood to wood
– wood to metal
– metal to metal
Recorded 32 bit 192kHz with Sanken CUX100K microphone pair and Sennheiser MKH8040 pair and MKH8050 to Sound Devices MixPre10- II. Released 24bit 192kHz with photos and UCS metadata.

Featuring a total of 16 Wav files (1.76GB), the library is on sale for $14.50 USD until August 30th, 2026 (regular $29 USD).
