Sound design in games is crucial to creating an immersive experience. However, many of the sounds we need for our games don’t actually exist yet, so we need to record them ourselves. This is called Foley.
We have our own in-house audio studio, where our audio team records all of the sound effects for our games. They’re always asking for random items such as old microwaves or anything else they could break in the name of sound science.
Here they are smashing different types of fruit and noodles, and beating some rocks with a hammer.
Sound Quiz
We have a mystery for those of you with an eye, or should I say ear for detail! The following sound has been recorded by our audio team: Mystery Sound
Can you figure out from what the sound originates from? Answer in the comments below, we’ll be watching them closely. The person with correct answer will get a small reward 🙂

I would say you used a vacuum cleaner on a microphone directly or alternatively on a piece of paper.
It’s an industrial vacuum cleaner being turned off. So you have the correct answer, or close enough 🙂
As promised, you’ll get some reward, please send me your contact details to kai(at)frozenbyte.com.
Great! 🙂 I have sent you a e-mail.
Congratulations 😀
@Cheeseness: Thanks!
@Frozenbyte team: I have just received the package today and it’s A M A Z I N G !!! 🙂 Thank you so much! I expected a small reward as stated in the post, but after opening the package I was just: “O M G, is this real?!?!?” 🙂
Thanks again and I wish you great success for future games, I’m sure they will be great!
You’re welcome 🙂
I think it sounds more like cutting through the end of a board and then saw winding down.
it sounds like twanging a ruler
A vibrating large rubber band or some type of membranophone
sounds like a blender/liquifier with some “object” inside.. maybe a vegetable
Pretty easy. First thought was vacuum cleaner, second thought was leaf blower. You can still hear the engine running a bit after being turned off.
