Recommended sound effects library for designing system sounds?

Question

I would like to create some system sound effects for a sporting device. The device needs sound effects for actions such as play, stop, pause, error, clicking a slider etc.

Is there a free sound library that I could use for this?

Is there useful literature useful for designing my own sounds?

The iFX series by Zero-G is also very useful

The Boom library "Sci-fi" and "interface" could help you. As always their sounds are really great, well classified, good metadata for Soundminer, they always give a bunch of sounds which is good to avoid to have the same repeteting sound. You should take a look at.

Friendly greetings Simon!

Beyond a sample library, what about a dedicated tool to create UI samples? It's not free but I encourage you to consider the productivity and/or fun you might experience with Soundmorph's Galactic Assistant, it's an app designed to make UI sounds (marketed as being futuristic, but not limited to that): http://soundmorph.com/index.php?page=soundpacks&spack=ga

I don't have it but trust them by way of friends vouching for their stuff and reputation.

Would ♥ to hear what you ended up creating.

Answer 5

Thanks for the answers, I found some free effects by googling for UI Sound Effects and making some of my own in Logic Pro X. I mainly used ones I found on here:

In future I may purchase one of the sample libraries you've suggested as it would save a lot of time and be much more professional, however I was essentially looking for free samples.
