Does anyone know of a sound effects pack or website that contains a decent set of rolling ball bearing/hardball (e.g marbles etc.) sounds? I'm specifically looking for a ball rolling along a small metal track, like the ones you find inside some pinball machines.

Any suggestions would be helpfull.

Thanks.

record rolling a marble with variable speed on a fairly damped wooden board .then on the edit replace the hits with metal rings n other elements.

  • Cool idea. What do you mean by recording on variable speed? – Jay Jennings♦ Feb 5 '16 at 1:31
  • My guess is to speed back the playback (can do in Audacity) which should make the surfaces sound brighter, more metallic. But really, ball bearings are cheap, and easy to record. I'd be tempted to just "roll my own". – Phil Freihofner Aug 1 '16 at 8:56

The Boom library has "spinning glass" and "spinning plastic" which might do part of the job. The impacts you can add from a metal impact sound.

For something like this I would just record it. Assuming you have the gear. Chances are you wouldn't find a 'rolling marbles' library as it's too specific a sound. I'd try a website like sound dogs that might have what your looking for.
