Back in 2017, I had the pleasure of staying with a friend in Germany who let me borrow his Volvo 850 to record some car sounds. I was particularly interested in capturing different car door opening and closing sounds, and this early 90s car proved to be the perfect candidate.
In addition to recording the driver’s side and passenger doors, trunk, and hood, I also made sure to capture the sound of the engine starting and the car driving away. It was so much fun getting to work on this project and I’m happy to offer these car door sound effects as a royalty-free resource for anyone in need.
Whether you’re creating sound effects for personal projects or commercial ones, these car door sounds are sure to add a realistic touch. Be sure to check out the accompanying video to see the pictures that match these sound effects!
Be sure to check out more sounds on our Foley Page and this Truck Doors Sound Effects Library.
Who would have thought a handy sound recorder in Cambodia would lead us here?
Hi there we’re Marcel and Libby and every sound on this site has been recorded by us. For nearly 7 years, we’ve been traveling around the world recording unique sounds for others to use!
If you’re curious and want to learn more about our journey traveling full-time as sound recordists you can read on here or on CNN Travel.
