While staying in an Airbnb outside of Samara, Costa Rica, I had the opportunity to record the unique sounds of a bonfire. Our hosts had a peculiar upstairs tenant who was creating an authentic Costa Rican garden by slowly burning everything on an acre of land he had purchased.
One morning, I saw him preparing a large bonfire and knew I had to take the opportunity to capture the fire crackling sounds. I quickly set up my recording gear, using my DPA 4060 with the Rycote Windjammer and Zoom H6, and walked around the fire capturing the crackling, snapping, and whistling sounds of the wood burning. I also captured the sound of wind blowing through the wood, and even a horse neighing in the background.
This royalty-free sound library includes high-quality recordings of bonfire sounds that are perfect for use in film, video, and music production. We hope you enjoy these sounds and find them useful in your future projects.
Be sure to check out more sounds on our Nature page and this Ceremonial Fire Sound Library.
