The Warehouse is a free collection of horror sound effects and percussion sounds. It was created by Richard Gould, who is also the author of Percussa Toolbox.
The free download link is located at the end of this article.
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 Artist
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.

excellent points altogether, you just gained a emblem new reader.
What would you recommend about your publish that you just made a few days in the past?
Any positive?
Hi, this link doesn’t seem to work any more, any chance of getting it fixed / new link put up?
why does the license prohibit the use of these samples in virtual instruments? :(
Sorry for the confusion! It means that the sounds can’t be used in a commercial virtual instrument released by a third party. This is to prevent certain software developers from taking these sounds and using them in their commercial products.
On the other hand, you are absolutely free to load these sounds in your samplers or any other instruments and programs on your computer and use them in your music. :)
The download zip just won’t open, does anyone have any idea how to get it to work?
This is one of the best resource websites, I swear.
Thanks! :)
