Recording LAX Airport sounds

Before heading out for another far off adventure, I recorded incredible sounds at the sprawling Los Angeles Airport. As the fourth busiest passenger airport in the world (and the second in the United States), LAX served more than 80.9 million passengers in a year!

It’s no wonder I could capture so many landing and takeoffs of commercial and cargo planes. Alone in 2016 LAX handled 697,138 aircraft operations including landings and takeoffs!

To record these sounds, I was located behind Airfield L25 and R25! If you’re curious about more specs… the Airfields are all east-west parallel runways: 24 Right/6 Left is 8,925 feet; 24L/6R is 10,285 feet; 25R/7L is 12,090 feet, and 25L/7R is 11,095 feet. All runways are 150 feet wide except 25L/7R, which is 200 feet wide and this is the one where we recorded the sound! I hope you enjoy this royalty-free sound library and that you can use it on your upcoming projects!

Besides the aircraft landing sound effects, you will find in this library ambience and binaural soundscape recorded inside the LAX terminal. A second library from LAX can be found on my Bandcamp account HERE.
