The Room Next Door

Books slamming and pages turning, a broom sweeping, a dishwasher humming, cutlery tinkling.

531 sounds, one per fileRoyalty-freeMetadata included

Five hundred and thirty-one sounds in half a gigabyte. Everything here is short.

That is what household foley is: single actions, recorded close, meant to be placed one at a time. The field states the goal plainly — a listener should think the sound is coming from the next room rather than from the speakers. Two more volumes follow: EVERYDAY LIFE 02 at a similar weight per sound, and EVERYDAY LIFE 03 four to five times heavier per sound. Together the three hold 1,929.


At a Glance

  • 531 files, 531 sounds The same number twice — one sound per file
  • 529.70 MB across 531 files About 1 MB per file — the division is computed here, and it means single actions rather than takes
  • Five subjects named Books, pages, brooms, dishwashers and cutlery — counted off the field
  • Foley, by the supplier’s own heading Not ambience: these are actions a character performs, not a place they are in
  • One continuous sound among them The dishwasher hums while the other four happen once — the only bed in a library of events
  • 1,929 sounds across three volumes 531 here, 547 in the second, 851 in the third — added up here from the three specifications

02The Five Subjectscounted off the description itself
BooksSlammed shut — a percussive event, and the loudest thing in a quiet room
Turning pagesThe opposite extreme from the slam, and the one that needs the close microphone
BroomsSweeping; a rhythm rather than a hit, which makes it the one that can run under a line of dialogue
DishwashersHumming — the only sustained sound in the set, and the one that establishes a kitchen without a word
CutleryTinkling, the detail that makes a meal read as a meal
What it is aiming atThe field states the test itself: the listener should believe the sound is coming from the next room

Household sound is judged by whether the audience stops noticing it. A slammed book and a turned page are the same object two seconds apart, and a library that records both is doing the part that cannot be designed afterwards.
