Description

The Reindeer/Caribou sound effect library has 150 audio files and over 500 individual sounds.

Including:
• Isolated vocalizations of adults, young calves, and new-born calves, including grunts and nickers
• Isolated mouth and nose sounds, including breaths, exhales, inhales, snorts, coughs, smacking,
swallowing, sniffs, burps, and gurgles
• Herd activity, including resting, moving, herding and round-up
• Real and foley bells
• Antlers clashing
• Footsteps, walking and running on different surfaces
• Eating and drinking
• Sleeping/Resting
• Digging snow

The library was recorded in Finnish Lapland during different seasons.
Most of these sounds have been recorded with a collar microphone on reindeer, so the sounds are
extremely intimate, isolated, and close-up. The collar microphone was attached to a female reindeer
with a calf, which captured the most intimate moments. The collar microphone also recorded many
other reindeer in the herd, so there are a lot of unique reindeer vocalizations.

Note regarding the naming of the animal: Wikipedia says that “Reindeer is the European name for
the species of Rangifer, while in North America, Rangifer species are known as Caribou”. So, you
can use the same sounds for each of them because, at least in terms of sound, they are nearly
identical!
