Compact disc SFX Library
The small and plastic compact disc, known as a CD, produces a distinct sound when it is dropped on a hardwood floor on its edge. The low, crisp noise of the CD hitting the hard surface creates a sense of fragility and delicacy, contrasting with the durability of the plastic material. This sound can be heard in various scenarios, from accidentally dropping a CD while changing discs in a multimedia player to removing it from a computer tray in the distance.
The CD dropping with a smack evokes a sense of impact and immediacy, capturing the moment when the disc makes contact with a surface. This sound can be heard when handling CDs and DVDs, whether placing them in a tray or removing them for playback. The sharp sound of the CD hitting a surface resonates with the precision and technology involved in playing multimedia content.
In a library of compact discs, the sounds of CDs stacking and thumbing through in a series create a rhythmic and organized atmosphere. The stereo sound of CDs being organized and sorted reflects the meticulous nature of maintaining a CD collection. This ambient noise sets the tone for browsing through a vast selection of music, movies, or data stored on discs.
The sliding sound of a CD case on a wooden table back and forth quickly adds a dynamic element to the auditory landscape of a CD library.

The foley sound of CD discs hitting each other or a surface conveys a sense of activity and engagement with the physical media. The muffled thuds and clinks of CDs being handled and arranged contribute to the tactile experience of browsing through a collection. This sound can be heard as CDs are sorted, organized, or simply moved around within a library setting.
The sound of a CD spinning as it is placed on a wooden table and picked up in a series captures the repetitive and cyclical nature of interacting with CDs. The mid-side recording conveys the continuous motion of the disc as it is handled and played. This sound adds a sense of motion and energy to the act of selecting and using CDs in a multimedia environment.
From the gentle dropping of a CD on a wooden table to the rough handling of discs in a series, the sounds of CDs being placed and picked up reflect the dynamic nature of managing a CD library.
