Vinyl Noise SFX is a free library of vinyl noise and crackle sound effects created by Matoto aka Chia. The library contains 37 audio samples in total, featuring a variety of vinyl record noises.
The Library
Vinyl Noise SFX is a collection of vinyl noise recordings. Chia captured the raw audio from his turntable, resulting in an authentic audio collection of vinyl crackle sounds, noise pops, and other vinyl sonic imperfections that we’ve all grown to love. You can use the sounds for layering on top of author recordings to emulate the vinyl sound. They can also work as a source of noise for further sound design work.
The Artist
Chia is a DJ and producer from Oregon who decided to digitize his vinyl collection and came up with this cool set of vinyl noise samples during the process. Read the interview with Chia below to learn all the background info about Vinyl Noise SFX such as what equipment was used and which records have been sampled and then scroll all the way down the page to grab your free copy of the sample pack.
Technical Details
All vinyl crackle samples included in Vinyl Sample SFX were recorded on a Numark TTUSB turntable connected to Audacity. Records used were innumerous, ranging from 78s from the 1950s to 7″s from the ’70s-80s as well as a few modern 12″ dance records.
No samples have been EQed, limited, compressed, panned, or post-processed in any way. All samples are available in 16-bit WAV format. All recording, editing/cropping, compiling, and graphic design done by Chia. Recorded from November 11, 2013, to June 22, 2014.

Cool pack, thanks Chia and Tomislav!
I had the same idea to record vinyl noises several days ago :)
Thanks for the samples! But, hey, wouldn’t it be illegal for us to use these samples commercially, since they came from people’s published works, ie from vinyl albums/LPs?
Hi LeRoi! Well, these are just samples of vinyl noise and crackle. No musical content has been captured in the samples, so definitely no worries there.
Very cool stuff and great samples of vinyl.
Good for something different: Noise/IDM tracks
Just wondering, will you be doing a Field Recording samplepack?
Hi Seventeen! Well, the first 99Sounds release Rain And Thunder falls into the field recording category and more packs like that one are in the works! Do you have any special requests for a field recording pack?
Awesome!
Yes I do have special requests for a field recording pack these are:
Fields,nighttime,traffic,train stations,
below staircases,seashores,forests,
fireworks,offices,and Tornados
Cool, those are some pretty cool requests! I was actually planning to create a library with train station field recordings, so that will be the first one on the list!
Power tools, car & truck engines, & however you make “clicks and cuts”, ‘cuz I haven’t figured that out yet. But vinyl seems like a good start…
I read “seashores” as “seahorses”…… Which I now humbly request.
:D Shouldn’t be a problem really, I’ll go grab the keys to my submarine.
Thanks
Your the best!
Nothing like the sound of scratched vinyl..Thanks.
Thank you Chia, last few days I was looking for crackle vinyl track to add in my song, but couldn’t find the exactly I want, now looks like my journey will end up here, thanks again!
Thankyou! :) :)

This is a great product. Dude could have easily charged for this. Better than any vinyl emulation plug i’ve used. I like using the kontakt instrument that’s included.
Awesome sample library! Since I don’t have a turntable, this is extremely helpful! Appreciate the post!
Thanks for posting this! It’ll come in handy sometime in the near future, I’m sure!
And what a cool site you have – and alla this stuff is free?!? I’m subscribing! Now!!
thank you man :)
Thanks!
I finally got them!
It wouldn’t extract the on my Linux computer because it would not allow a filename using square brackets, ie, [99sounds] I finally got inside the archive and extracted the content without the [ ]’s :)
The Link isnt working anymore. :(
File doesn’t exist. :(
Broken link :(
For some reason I can’t access the link to the download.
I would really appreciate it if there’s a mirror or an updated link.
It’s for a school project of mine.
The download link is broken!
Link dead.
Huge thanks to the guy who made this pack
I’m downloading this and only getting a PDF file. Tried twice now. What’s up with that?
I got it fine.
Used it to create this piece:
