Post-Impact Environments & Destruction

SCORCHED focuses on the sound of aftermath and force: collapsing structures, scorched landscapes, mechanical remnants, and environmental tension.

Rather than isolated effects, the library is designed as a cohesive destructive soundscape, supporting everything from large-scale cinematic moments to subtle background decay.

Aftermath & Ruin

Atmospheric beds, distant destruction, and environmental textures that establish scale, tension, and space after catastrophic events.

Impact & Force

Heavy impacts, collapses, blasts, and mechanical stress designed to convey mass, pressure, and physical consequence.

Fire & Heat

Fire-driven textures, burns, ignitions, and heat-based elements for destructive and unstable environments.

Industrial Remnants

Faltering machines, glitched bursts and stuttering noise capturing the remains of industrial worlds.

Andrew Hind

Composer, The Apprentice / Dragon’s Den (BBC), NBC News Daily

"Great depth and also an overriding sense of the quality and depth of sound.

There’s just so much stuff in SCORCHED and so many elements that inspire as starting points.

Awesome for any type of aggressive trailer, promo work and horror as well. Everything hangs together in terms of its sound world and purpose, naming and branding."

Igor Correia

Composer, Art of the Steal (film), Netflix, global ad campaigns

"I'm amazed at the size and quality of this first release.

Scorched delivers on so many levels, adding depth, realism, and edge to any track.

As a trailer composer, it’s quickly become one of my go-to libraries, especially for its braams and percussion loops - sounds you just can’t get from standard virtual instruments."

John Green

Sound Designer / ADR Mixer, Artemis Fowl (Disney), Sony, Ferrari, Porsche, HSBC

"A great first sound library from Puzzlebox!

SCORCHED will be a go-to for upcoming projects. Definitely a company to watch for future releases."

Aivaras Burn

Sound Designer / Composer

"This pack is seriously impressive.

The drones, percussion, and pulse builders are fantastic for sparking ideas, and I love that raw files are included for deeper layering and processing.

SCORCHED will be a staple in my horror and tension sound design work."

What's Included

Drones & Atmospheres (166 WAV files)

Drones of guitar & synth feedback. Rich, usable material suitable for cinematic scoring and sound design. Ideal as long-form beds or loopable pads for building atmosphere and emotional weight.

  • Transmission Drones: Radio-based tonal ambiences formed from degraded signals, static interference, and fragmented communication noise, evoking isolation and decay.
  • Siren Drones: Tonal drones inspired by distant alarms and warning sirens, combining rising modulation and layered resonance for industrial tension.
  • Tonal Drones: ​Evolving harmonic drones built from synths and guitars, blending distorted tonal movement with low-end pressure and cinematic depth.
  • Feedback Drones: Long tonal feedback layers shaped by controlled resonance and evolving harmonics, building sustained tension and unease.
Textures & Noise (255 WAV files)

Immersive beds of static, fire, wind, and evolving synth tones. From low-end rumbles to searing infernos, these layers build tension, weight, and desolate atmosphere.

  • Static Noise Beds: Thick washes of static, evoking abandoned radios, scorched comms channels, and oppressive sonic dust clouds.
  • Ashen Environments: Atmospheric sweeps and currents that suggest barren wastelands, desolate plains, or haunting desert ambiences.
  • Crackle Textures: ​From smoldering crackles to roaring infernos, these flamescapes bring heat, danger, and destruction.
  • Pressure Textures: Dense, intense textures designed to overwhelm, dominate, and raise the tension in cinematic scoring.
  • Thermal Rumbles: Sub-heavy layers that underpin a scene with dread, power, and subterranean movement.
  • Wasteland Ambiences: Haunting tonal synth beds that create an unsettling, atmospheric foundation for dystopian settings.
Cinematic Impacts (311 WAV files)

A brutal, cinematic collection of powerful, distorted, and metallic impacts, BRAAMS, clangs, and blasts designed for maximum weight and aggressive intensity.

  • BRAAMS: A versatile collection of earth-shaking BRAAMS, from bold cinematic strikes to harsh, distorted synth blasts and sharper mid/high-focused variants. Designed to deliver weight, aggression, and clarity across any mix.
  • Distorted Hits: Heavy & distorted hits. Saturated, crushing impacts to punctuate moments of violence, power, or dramatic emphasis.
  • Explosive Impacts: Blasts ranging from cinematic to industrial, delivering destructive force.
  • Industrial Strikes: Sounds of industrial equipment & tools striking objects. Clangs, smashes, and metallic violence that capture raw, mechanical aggression.
Glitch & Feedback FX (315 WAV files)

Chaotic, distorted sound design elements built from circuit bends, feedback, and glitch bursts. Raw, dissonant textures that add grit, tension, and futuristic edge to any mix.

  • Circuit Bends​: Heavily warped & glitched noise. Chaotic bursts and torn digital textures that bring aggression, breakdown energy, and harsh futuristic detail.
  • Glitch Bursts: Short, distorted bursts ranging from harsh 8-bit explosions to scattered noise fragments and stuttering cuts. These compact, experimental effects deliver crunchy retro grit, fractured rhythmic energy, and unpredictable accents; ideal for transitions, brutal impacts, or adding lo-fi chaos to your mix.
  • Feedback FX: Distorted, dissonant bursts of amp-driven feedback and noise. Each short recording captures the raw edge of overloaded signals; harsh, unstable tones that cut through a mix with searing intensity. Perfect for layering into impacts, creating unsettling accents, or adding abrasive detail to dystopian soundscapes.
Scoring Tools (287 WAV files)

A collection of powerful, cinematic sounds including distorted guitar notes, heavy guitar riffs, and aggressive synth lines. From seamless, driving loops to warped, post-apocalyptic textures, these sounds deliver energy, tension, and creative impact for scoring, sound design, and cinematic production.

  • Distorted Guitar Textures: Five folders of distorted guitar notes, each from a unique instrument. Perfect for cinematic scoring, sound design, and creative layering.
  • Heavy Guitar Riffs: Aggressive riffs designed to be looped seamlessly, delivering raw energy and drive for scoring action or trailers.
  • Aggressive Synth Loops: Driving patterns that add relentless energy, propulsive rhythm, and futuristic edge.
  • Distorted Synth Riffs: Harsh sequences that evolve dynamically, creating tension through movement and raw power.
  • Warped Synth Lines: Bold, aggressive synth phrases twisted into alien, post-apocalyptic tones.
Rhythmic Elements (148 WAV files)

Primal, aggressive percussion loops ranging from orchestral war drums to heavily distorted, industrial and machine-driven rhythms, designed to drive tension, chaos, and cinematic intensity.

  • War Drums: Rhythmic, pounding battle percussion to drive tension, scale, and primal intensity.
  • Industrial Rhythms: Machine-driven mechanical rhythms forged from raw recordings, looped for instant industrial scoring.
  • Distorted Percussion: Relentless, aggressive loops dripping with saturation, perfect for trailer builds or industrial intensity.
  • Electronic Loops: Crunchy, mangled percussive grooves that bring chaos, grit, and a dystopian edge.
