Overview

The simplest sound effects are often the most essential. Created by Oscar®-winning sound artist Mark Mangini (Dune, Blade Runner 2049), this library features a vast variety of analog button clicks, switches, toggles, and latches — all recorded in high resolution with plenty of variations and no additional processing. Indispensable for everyday editing, these sounds also make an excellent basis for creative sound design, including UI sounds and anything mechanical.

Buttons & Switches runs the gamut from subtle, modern-sounding clicks to chunkier mechanical controls with weight and heft. This library covers many everyday devices such as lightswitches, TV remotes, iPhones, wireless speakers, game controllers, and household appliances; plus harder-to-find sounds like accordion keys, panel buttons, and firearm safeties. There’s even a sizable selection of vehicle sound effects including turn signals, dashboard controls, and hood latches.

Each file includes multiple variations, giving more nuance to repetitive sounds and providing plenty of creative options. Additionally, each file includes a picture of its source, so you can always find an authentic sound for any device. Whether you’re an editor looking for maximum realism, a sound designer interested in processing and manipulating sounds, or a game developer who needs randomized variations, Buttons & Switches has you covered.
