ABOUT HSL
What does Houston sound like?
To answer this question, music artist and audio professional Andrew Karnavas explored Houston with professional audio recording equipment to capture its sounds, then edit and catalog them in this Creative Commons open-source sound library for you to enjoy and use for your own creative projects!
Houston sounds can provide auditory “color,” digital instrument samples, and sonic layers for music, podcasts, video games, and more. Explore the site and download any sounds that you would like to use — like all of our great libraries, it’s FREE!
PERCUSSION
Every machine click, every basketball bounce, every footstep … these are just some of the percussive sounds we make and hear every day. Walk to the beat of your own drum — and snare, high hat, and marimba! — with hundreds of sounds from Houston’s parks, playgrounds, sculptures, signs, trains, found objects and more.
You can even download sounds from transportation hubs like the Navigation Esplanade in East End Houston, METRO and its North Line Transit Center, and even Lee and Joe Jamail Skate Park and use them to create the soundtrack of your daily commute!
