The Library
The Warehouse is a sample instrument containing a range of SFX elements recorded in a military storage facility in the United Kingdom. It includes wooden, metallic, and glass elements.
Many of the sounds were captured in the facility’s natural ambiance. The sounds can easily be used as percussion elements and sound effects.
With a set of eerie field recordings captured in an abandoned military storage facility, this spooky free sample library packs more than one hundred spine-chilling sounds ready for use in your next horror movie soundtrack.
Creaking doors, rattling chains, spooky metallic echoes, and glass scraping sounds are the sort of stuff you’ll find in The Warehouse. These samples can be used as scary sound effects.
That said, most of them will also work very well as organic percussive sounds for layering on top of drum loops.
My favorite part of the library is the samples of an electric lift, which almost beg to be used as foley robot sounds in a Transformers-style movie.
Most of the samples were recorded with loads of natural reverb, perfectly capturing the spooky atmosphere of an abandoned military warehouse.
Pair these up with our free Rain And Thunder sample library, and you’ll have all the sounds required for a horror movie scene that takes place in a haunted house during a storm.

The library was crafted by Richard Gould, a creative composer and talented sound designer from London, UK. You can find numerous examples of his brilliant sound design work on his official website, as well as his LinkedIn profile.

Thrilled to hear people are enjoying the sounds. Would love to hear what you guys create with them, don’t hesitate to get in touch if you care to share your work down the line.
thanks!
I used some of these sounds for one of my tunes, the Sixth Seal! There’s a subsonic sound I used underneath the music to create the impression of massive earthquakes. Couldn’t have done it without you!
Cheers!
