Boom Library – Electric Vehicles

Electric Vehicles is a highly sought after sound effects collection featuring meticulously recorded authentic sounds of electric vehicles and electric motors, including a selection of electric cars, a motorcycle and a scooter. Designed for those working with TV, film and games, this collection features numerous electric vehicles and related sounds that will electrify your creations with authentic sounds.

Comprehensive sound coverage

Onboard Recordings: Up to 12-channel onboard microphones, including electromagnetic microphones, capturing the cabin, electric motors in the engine bay, trunk, and bumpers. Exterior Perspectives: Four distinct exterior perspectives including approach, away, cornering, and start & stops.

Audio recordings of diverse electric vehicle types

Sounds from a variety of electric cars like a Tesla Roadster or Volkswagen ID3. We also recorded various other vehicles, including a small monowheel, a scooter and an electric motorbike.

Sounds of versalite maneuvers

Our sound library features electric vehicles in different maneuvering situations like steady driving, acceleration, deceleration, reverse driving, and more. We also recorded every maneuver at various speeds – including the sounds of electric vehicles at low speed.

Handling, doors, and wipers

In addition to the extensive set of driving sounds, you will receive diverse recordings of opening and closing of doors, trunks and frunks, activated windscreen wipers, charging procedures, and more to complete the sound set of each vehicle.

Onboard sound perspective

Create your own onboard sound mixes by choosing which mics to use in what combination. Those can be used for car interior scenes or third party shots, you can emphasize on the tire noises or the electrical whine of the engines or get a natural and spatial 3D Ambisonic surround driver position perspective. Perfect to support cuts with switching cameras.

Exterior sound positions

The exterior positions feature several spots along the track which have been used to corner, approach, drive away, and pass by driving. Those microphones are ideal for scenarios in which you have static shots from the outside of an electric vehicle.

What’s so special about this library?

It’s a BOOM Library so it had to be right. It took us time to get these recordings so we were happy. We invested a great deal of time to gather experiences, do test recordings, and try and distill what is so special about the electric vehicle experience. Finally the day had to be right, the weather held us back for months: since EVs are so quiet, wind, rain, birds, animals, other traffic – these background noises needed to be limited as much as possible. We think this attention to detail is absolutely worth it! We feel sure you will too.

Compatible Software

This library of sounds comes in WAV file format, which means you can import and work with them in any software that can handle this file type.

Embedded Metadata

To ensure your workflow is as fast and simple as possible, all files contain extensive metadata, such as file descriptions and keywords, allowing you to quickly find the sounds you need. Metadata can be read and manipulated using audio management tools. Some DAWs have a built-in search tool that can also read embedded metadata.
