A downloadable Sound Library

Buy Now$7.99 USD or more

Play. Pause. Rewind.

Cassette is a library of over 200 portable tape recorder, cassette, rewind/fast forward, slow-down/speed-up and noise sounds. Sourced from recorders that have seen better days, the devices hiss and sputter, warble and moan – if you're after samples with a little personality these might be just the thing!

Ideal for time manipulation events, cutscenes and in-game foley, as UI button sounds or source for mechanical and sci-fi sound design.


  • 50 button presses with and without tape and device noise.
  • 73 designed rewind, fast-forward and tape stop effects, excellent for entering or exiting time manipulation sequences. Includes vinyl scratch style effects.
  • 32 cassette rattle and handling sounds great for cutscene foley or in-game collectibles.
  • 7 seamless tape playback/rewind loops for in-game comms devices or tape playback foley.
  • 35 load and remove cassette, close deck, open case and mechanism sounds.
  • BONUS 10 EMF and tape noise samples. Electromagnetic fields recorded directly onto tape help you add convincing grit to in-game comms devices, and create eerie sounds from the ether in horror and sci-fi titles.
  • 24-bit 96kHz WAV audio in a mix of stereo and mono allows for further mangling and sound design.
  • Royalty-free. Use the sounds in commercial or non-commercial projects.
  • BWF & Soundminer metadata.

Thanks – you're welcome!

Very cool. My tape player broke so I couldn't make my own sounds. Glad to find that someone else did the hard work for me ;)

Thanks :) I think my tape players are on the way out too, just barely spinning up. Glad they might be of some use!
