What we offer

We realised filmmakers and editors weren't struggling with creativity, they were struggling with SOUND. So we created simple workflows and sound libraries to make your project feel cinematic in minutes.

Our Sound Effects are made up of real-world field recordings and studio produced sounds.

Our Foley Samples are Foley inspired sound effects of common, rare and unique finds. Offering 100% source recordings at a great price.

By Humans for Humans.

Here at RFSD we take pride in the fact that every sound is recorded, edited and designed from scratch. By humans, for humans.

We want to create an authentic experience to build a trusted community of likeminded creatives.

We already have a growing community on our social media channels and a blog on reddit that you can join and post your own recordings.

History of RFSD

Rare Finds Sound Design (RFSD) was founded by Oliver Menadue, a Sound Artist from the UK.

RFSD was previously named Menedh Du which is the original Cornish spelling of Oliver's second name "Menadue" meaning black hill.

If you look closely, you can see how it inspired the RFSD logo.
