Antique Oilfield Machinery Sound Effects
Hear a sonic snapshot of the past in the Antique Oilfield Machinery sound effects library. A time capsule of clips from another age, this bundle showcases the sounds from one of the oldest commercial oil fields in the world.
Listen to recordings of machines more than 160 years old from pumpjacks, flywheel and belt central power rigs, wood gearbox field wheels, and line-and-rod jerker power-transfer systems.
A perfect fit for Western films, TV shows (Landman), period piece Age of Sail productions, or sound design steampunk elements.
Feel the slow, ponderous movement of metal, steel, and wood squeaks and creaks, gearboxes clacking and massive clattering and slapping belt-and-flywheel power systems, all with the organic wear and imperfection of pre-industrial machinery.
Types of Oilfield Machinery Sound Effects
Recorded at Petrolia Discovery in Lambton County, Canada, the authentic antique oilfield machinery sound effects include:
Pumpjacks (1890-1920): 3 different types of oil well machines (wood, metal, electrical) pumping oil with squeaking, creaking, see-sawing repetitive machinery sounds.
Fitzgerald Rig (1903): a massive central power rig that powers multiple wells and pumpjacks at once. Hear focused perspectives of its engine, enormous flywheels, belt-drive system, crankshaft, and clattering wooden pitman arm in mechanical whines, whirs, slaps, cranks, and smacks.
Field wheel (aprox. 1860-1880): a huge wooden mechanical gearbox that transfers power to the pumpjacks. Listen to cycling wooden clicks and clacks.
Jerker-line system: a power transfer system with shivering metal rods and rattling wooden poles, unique to the oilfield.
