About The Dying

The most difficult part of the library, kept as its own category so that nobody walks into it by accident. Laboured breathing, final breaths and the sounds at the very end, made for horror and thriller work where that moment has to land. Similar recordings belong together, so one character can stay consistent across a whole story, whether in a game death scene, a film or an audio drama. Use your judgement with these, especially in anything that will reach a general audience.

Thank you for taking one of my sounds with you ❤️

I recorded and produced this one myself. No AI voices, no cloning.

Everything here stays free

There is no expectation. But if a sound has found a home in your project, maybe in a game or a video you are creating, I would be deeply grateful for a small donation. Creating these sounds is how I make my living, and every bit of support helps keep this library free 🙏😌

Credit is optional
