Vietnam Sound Library

What You Can Expect

Welcome to Vietnam! Our brand new sound library allows you to dive deep into this wonderful country. In order to capture over 100Gbs of audio, Marcel rented a motorbike in Ho Chi Minh City and traveled 35 days from Saigon to the Mekong Delta and far up north to the Chinese border near Ha Giang.

From Saigon to the Mekong Delta in the south, he then traveled north along the Vietnamese-Cambodian border and continued driving along to the coast where he stopped in cities like, Tay Ninh, Pleiku, Dalat, Danang, Hue and many others.

This diverse catalogs of sounds includes unique urban ambience of bustling streets, local markets, and train stations.

Besides recordings city life audio, Marcel visited National Parks like Cat Tien and Phong Nha to capture nature sounds inside one of the largest caves in the world! He decided to end his road journey in Ha Giang and went back to Hanoi for another 30 days and recorded the motorcade from Kim Jong Un, the tight train passing by through the famous train street from Hanoi and many many more!
