The Network Sound Effects Library is a sound effects library made by Network Music and distributed by Sound Ideas.
Info
The first 40 CDs were originally released on vinyl in 1983, and largely had the same effects as the Series 1000 Sound Effects Library, also from Sound Ideas. Although it excludes some effects (like the electronic music, the birds, etc.), it also has more effects that are not on the Series 1000 library (like a child crying after being hit).
More discs were added starting in 1987 up until 2001, bringing up the total to 120 CDs. Discs 41-50 and 111-120 have similar high-quality sound effects. Discs 51 to 110 noticeably have vintage sound effects of varying sound quality, including some that can also be found on such libraries as the Universal Studios Sound Effects Library, the 20th Century Fox Sound Effects Library, The International Sound Effects Library, the Classic TV Sound Effects Library, the Cartoon Trax Volume 1 library and a few others.
The library was ultimately discontinued during the 2010s and as of 2020, the CDs are no longer available for new purchase except at Adorama.com.
Sound Effects List
Due to the large number of sound effects in this library, the list has been split into three subpages.
Trivia
- In Brainy Baby and Baby's First Impressions, many of the sounds from the library were used.
