A versatile sound effects library for bright, inspiring projects.

The phrase “so quiet you could hear a pin drop” instantly conjures up a feeling of intense anticipation. But the reality is, those moments are never filled with pure silence. Instead, a person is hypersensitive to every sound in their environment, with even the most delicate of noises adding to the suspense.

The bright and bold sounds in this library help fine-tune the emotion in your film. They strike a balance between optimism and tension. But it’s the kind of tension you feel before the big game, before the plane wheels leave the runway, or right before the bride is revealed.

Sound Effects FAQ

Lens Distortions has one of the most curated libraries in the industry, focusing on stylized sound effects that imply movement, rather than literal recordings of every object imaginable

We’re known for creating some of the very first SFX designed specifically for cinematic filmmakers who do everything themselves. Previously, sound effects catalogs were only made for professional sound designers, which meant they were bloated and expensive.

We’ve continued our focus of helping filmmakers punch above their weight with unique concepts like pre-built Sound Design Tracks™, Timelapse SFX, and keyed sound effects that complement our music offering.

Sound Design Tracks are pre-built SFX arrangements we invented to help you save a ton of time when it comes to sound design.

You can simply drop a Sound Design Track on your timeline and edit your footage to it like you would edit to a music track or you can easily slice out portions of a Sound Design Track to get sophisticated audio in less time.

SFX Pairings are sound effects that are musically compatible with a particular music track.

Cinematic sound effects are SFX that focus primarily on evoking emotion rather than relaying the sound of an actual object. They’re often more atmospheric and subconsciously shape the viewer’s experience of a video vs foley sound effects which are more obvious and literal.

Yes! You can download free sound effects for video editing here.

When you’re ready for more, simply start an Audio or All-Access membership to unlock the full SFX platform.

You can use our sound effects in virtually any video project or podcast project!

Assets must be “synchronized” into a video or podcast project with other media and may not be used on their own and cannot be used in music production.

No, our assets can only be used in video or podcast projects and cannot be used for music production.

SFX refers specifically to sound effects used in video projects. Sounds effects are one of the most powerful tools in a video creator’s toolkit to make engaging content.

Lens Distortions specializes in creating SFX tailored to the needs of video editors who handle every part of the edit themselves.

When you can’t hire a pro sound designer, Lens Distortions sound effects are the next best thing.
