Immerse yourself in the authentic Soundscapes of Modern China—the result of a year-long journey. This collection captures the diverse sonic tapestry of urban, suburban, and rural areas in Beijing, Chongqing, Guangdong, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Liaoning, Sichuan, and beyond.

With 390 high-quality recordings (96kHz, 24-bit), this collection is perfect for anyone seeking to add authentic Chinese ambiences to their projects.

Some of what you can expect to hear:

• Urban Soundscapes: Bustling markets and lively streets to the serene corners of city parks, experience the pulse of Chinese metropolises.

• Natural Soundscapes: Mountain streams and diverse wildlife.

• Transportation Soundscapes: High-speed trains, metros, trams, boats, and unique vehicles like the "San Beng Zi" (three-wheeled trucks) paint a vivid picture of China's varied transportation landscape.

• Cultural Soundscapes: Temple ambiences, traditional markets, and festival sounds bring China's rich heritage to life.

• Weather Soundscapes: Experience the pitter-patter of rain, the rumble of thunder, and the whisper of wind across different Chinese settings.

• Crowd Soundscapes: Authentic Mandarin walla, crowd atmospheres, and the distinct sounds of daily life.

Whether you're working on a project set in China or need versatile ambient sounds for any type of media, our library offers a wealth of options. Many of these sounds can seamlessly fit into non-China related content, providing a rich resource for various creative endeavors.
