The Fireworks Sound Effects Pack includes twenty-eight unique sounds recorded on location with real fireworks. You’ll get mortar bursts, firecrackers, rockets, whistles, and firework show ambience. The pack also includes some useful foley sounds, such as metal lighters and fuse-burning sound effects.

Editing the Sound Effects

Feel free to edit all of the sounds with different audio effects. I particularly like to experiment with the bass when it comes to firework sound effects. You can use effects like Graphic Equalizer to easily tweak the bass, mids, and highs of the sound effects.

I also like to experiment with reverb, flanger, and phaser audio effects to create some truly unique sounds. You can even combine many of the simpler sound effects in a chain to create your own custom firework show ambience.

Get Creative!

It needs to be stated, firework sound effects can be used for a lot more than just firework footage. Pairing sounds like the mortar burst with text on screen can create a cool effect. You can also use the mortar, rocket, and spark sounds for your next action short film. Yippee-ki-yay, indeed!

Need Some Firework Footage?

Do you need some awesome firework footage to go along with these sound effects? Well, you’re in luck! Shutterstock just released a FREE Firework Video Pack with twenty-five different firework assets. The pack includes video clips of bokeh bursts, smoke, sparks, and fuses. All of the clips were filmed in slow motion, and you can even change the colors of the fireworks to match the theme of your project!
