Ambiences – Whether it is a busy corridor, a bursting waiting area or the strange calm of an ICU bedroom with all its machines, you will find it in here. We have recorded in various hospitals located in France – discernible speech was edited out so the recordings could cover a broader use.

Medical Equipment – From the syncopated hissy sound of a ventilator to the disruptive power of a MRI machine or the strange hollow resonances of an hyperbaric chamber, we’ve recorded a large number of medical devices with multiple perspectives.

Activities – What would be of a medical drama without the sound of hasty fooststeps down the hallway or of a gurney descending abruptly out of an ambulance ? Typical activities such as these were recorded on real locations for this collection.

Foley – We have welcomed veteran foley artist Gilles Marsalet in order to cover some specifics such as surgical instruments and operating table gore which, to say the least, demands a certain finesse – the same delicacy that separates doctors from flesh-eating zombies.

Sirens – Wailing, whoppers, piercers, buzzers, dual-tone…we’ve got them all. Getting in and out of a hospital in style is guaranteed.

Beeps – These are perhaps the most iconic sounds related to this kind of environment. Our collection has beeps in all waveshapes and colors, recorded from real devices in pristine condition and designed for even more flexibility. Whether you are looking for realism or  you just want to enhance the drama, GENERAL HOSPITAL has got you covered.

Despite the large number of files, it’s still really easy to find your way around with GENERAL HOSPITAL. File names are concise and consistent. All sounds are fully embedded with UCS compliant extensive metadata. Instantly loopable audio files were also created whenever it seemed logic to do so.

For Soundminer users, we came up with a few extra treats. The first one is the use of the powerful Open Tier field as a way to help navigate the library in an easy and intuitive fashion. We have also created Radium presets with the beeps of the library that could come in handy for busier scenes.
