Everything you need to build the atmosphere of a world after collapse.
From distant transmissions and warning sirens to scorched environments, static beds, pressure textures, and low-end rumbles, SCORCHED EARTH is built around the sound of a hostile world still breathing.
Its interconnected drones, ambiences, and environmental textures give you a cohesive atmospheric foundation for post-apocalyptic film, games, trailers, and cinematic sound design.

Official Trailer: The Wasteland Series
Part of the Wasteland Series
Three libraries. One world after collapse.
A World in Ruins
Build desolate environments with ashen ambiences, distant transmissions, warning sirens, static, crackle, and environmental textures designed to establish scale, isolation, and decay.
Layered Atmospheric Design
Combine drones, pressure textures, thermal rumbles, feedback, and noise beds to create evolving environments that remain cohesive as scenes grow in intensity.
9 Categories of Wasteland Atmosphere
Textures & Noise
STATIC NOISE BEDS
Continuous layers of damaged signal noise, interference, and electronic decay.
From radio static and digital crackle to signal dropouts, tape degradation, and broken transmission textures, these beds provide constantly evolving background detail.
Ideal for abandoned technology, radio environments, surveillance systems, ruined facilities, and adding degraded texture beneath larger scenes.
ASHEN ENVIRONMENTS
Bleak atmospheric environments shaped around wind, debris, heat, and desolation.
From dust-laden windscapes and distant infernos to reverberant weather textures and scorched environmental movement, these ambiences establish the physical scale of a devastated landscape.
Ideal for wastelands, ruined cities, exterior exploration, disaster aftermaths, and wide post-apocalyptic environments.
CRACKLE TEXTURES
Detailed burning textures ranging from subtle embers to intense structural fire.
From close sizzling crackles and controlled flames to deep burning layers and distant infernos, these sounds provide varied perspectives and intensities of sustained combustion.
Ideal for burning structures, environmental destruction, aftermath scenes, camps, industrial spaces, and scorched landscapes.
DREAD AMBIENCES
Dark environmental beds designed to make empty spaces feel threatening.
From abandoned cityscapes and industrial resonance to low-end drones, dissonant whines, and desolate atmospheric layers, these ambiences combine environmental space with sustained tension.
Ideal for ruins, bunkers, underground spaces, abandoned facilities, exploration, and slow-building post-apocalyptic dread.
PRESSURE TEXTURES
Dense atmospheric layers designed to create weight, anxiety, and mechanical tension.
From low industrial hums and dissonant machinery to filtered noise movement and darker pressure variations, these textures sit between ambience and sound design.
Ideal for hostile interiors, machinery rooms, underground facilities, suspense sequences, and building tension beneath dialogue.
THERMAL RUMBLES
Low, evolving textures built around heat, combustion, and subterranean movement.
From deep environmental rumbles and molten resonance to airy burning textures and atmospheric variations, these sounds suggest immense energy moving beneath the surface.
Ideal for fires, volcanic environments, industrial destruction, distant catastrophe, and large-scale environmental tension.
Drones & Atmospheres
FEEDBACK DRONES
Harsh, unstable tonal layers built from amplified feedback and distortion.
From dissonant resonances and grinding tonal movement to clipping, saturated feedback, these drones create an abrasive sense of instability with RAW, DISTORTED, and designed variations.
Ideal for hostile environments, psychological tension, industrial sequences, and scenes that need sustained sonic pressure.
SIREN DRONES
Distant warning tones and air-raid textures designed for danger and scale.
From slow cycling sirens and distant alarm calls to shimmering processed variations, these drones evoke abandoned cities, breached facilities, incoming threats, and large-scale emergencies.
Ideal for post-apocalyptic environments, military sequences, disaster scenes, and moments of approaching danger.
TRANSMISSION DRONES
Corrupted communications and fragmented radio signals from a broken world.
From military radio chatter and interference-heavy broadcasts to glitched and shuffled transmissions, these textures combine degraded voices, static, distortion, and signal corruption.
Ideal for abandoned facilities, military environments, survival scenes, communications systems, and post-apocalyptic worldbuilding.

Scorched Earth Metadata
UCS-Ready Filenames
Our sounds are named using the Universal Category System (UCS) convention: category ID, description, creator and library.
Library managers with UCS support can sort and filter by category on import.
Embedded Metadata
Our WAV files carry built-in metadata in standard BWF and RIFF INFO fields.
It stays with the file, so you can always see what a sound is and which library it came from.

What professionals say about Puzzlebox
Slideshow
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 the Wasteland Series 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."
