Frozen Footsteps Sound Effects
Authentic, freezing cold winter sounds for games and films
- 8 frozen surfaces

Prepare for shivers! The Frozen Footsteps sound library is a huge collection of unique, hard-to-access winter footstep & foley sounds recorded on 8 expressive and cold surfaces in freezing -20 °C (and below) temperature in Finland.
At the time of recording, everything from ground to trees was deeply frozen and covered with frost. However, snow hadn’t fallen yet. 7 surfaces were recorded during two freezing, snowless nights in a quiet rural area. This enabled capturing high-quality footstep sound fx on surfaces that are usually under snowpack. Completing the package, the frozen snow sounds were recorded later, with real crusty snow. In freezing temperatures, of course.
To make this collection special, all surfaces were recorded in real movement with multiple velocities (eg. sneaking, walking, running, sprinting). Frozen Footsteps library includes also real jumping and landings sounds. Jump sounds are often missing from other foley libraries, but are extremely useful for creating character movement sounds for games. This package gets you covered.
All sounds were carefully edited in iZotope RX and Pro Tools removing the background and clothing noise. This makes the sounds extremely clear, versatile, and easy to use. Huge amount of takes (2400+ sounds) on unique surfaces with skillful recording and mastering make Frozen Footsteps sfx collection highly useful and versatile for film foley and game sound effects.
