After our Black Friday special edition last week, money may be a little short and so this week's Sunday Sound Effects Round Up has a common theme of free sound effects from Airborne Sound, A Sound Effect and Boom Box Post.

Airborne Sound Release Free Sound FX Library - Jet Airliner Fly Bys

Jet Airliner Fly Bys is a free collection from Airborne Sound features jet airliners screaming by overhead from left to right.

• 30 sound clips (track list).

• 96 kHz, 24-bit stereo WAV files.

• 445 megabytes.

Includes 19+ fields of metadata in 4 formats (Soundminer, BWAV, MacOS Spotlight, ID3v2).
7 types of passenger jets with a variety of engine types provide a mix of textures from grinding and groaning to whooshing and wailing. The sounds include fly bys at medium-slow to medium-fast speed at a close perspective. A few extra medium distant takes are also included.

You could use these clips as airport vehicle effects, or as building blocks for sound design transitions or whooshes.
