Top 100 Sound Effect Companies
August 2022Looking for a top sound effect specialist?
A sound effect is the audio you hear that creates a sound in a film, movie, or other video format. For example, in an animated video, if you hear a door slamming shut, this is a sound effect. Creating believable sound effects requires understanding what materials you can use to recreate noises. This is no easy feat, so we recommend hiring a sound effects company to help you.
That's why we've created this list of the best sound effect companies for you to review. Read through company descriptions, former clients, and notable projects to find the best fit for your business. (And, if you want personalized recommendations, tell us about your project.)
