sound library
Recorded effects archive
A sound library is a collection of recorded audio samples—sound effects, instrument sounds, ambient noise, or musical loops—organized for use in music production, film, video games, or other media projects.
Producers draw from sound libraries rather than recording everything from scratch: The composer built the soundtrack using orchestral samples from a sound library.
Libraries range from free collections to professional packages costing thousands of dollars.
