WW1 Battle Ambience - Distant Artillery | Sleep In The Trenches

It's 1917 France WW1, on the Western Front. War is raging and you are trying to get a quick nap in the trenches but struggle to close your eyes and rest your mind as the thunderous sounds of battle fill the skies above. There is heavy fighting and bombings in the near distance and soon it will be your turn again but for now you shelter in your dugout and lay there trying not to think of the grim situation and the horrors you will be facing in the early hours.

The best ambience channel by far

[@sound_illusion]

Awwww 😊 no 1 thank you ❤️

[@Andre12689]

Say, what do you think about the following ambience:
A deep underground reactor facility that is being surface bombarded.
Would feature emergency sirens, announcements, people running, all that kind of stuff.
Got this idea when listening to the Churchill War Room

[@sound_illusion]

Sounds great I can picture it already .. will defo add it to the list thanks

Amazing but please can you make video where there are air raid sirens after every few minutes after that stukas diving and bombing and mg 42 rifles firing continuously at us and distant artillery is perfect. Firing sounds beside us

[@sound_illusion]

Hey thanks for the feedback, I can do all that for sure the only thing is some people find the air raid sirens annoying if it’s regular, but I will do my best to have a variety of these ambiences soon thank you

The only time you can adjust your position in the front line with the press of a button. Volume down, and your suddenly in the rear. Volume up, and your next man up for no mans land runs.

Ww1 had so many bullets flying all at once you couldn’t even hear individual gunshots it sounded like really loud wind. And the artillery had no pause in firing and landing shells

[@mr.martyr8573]

Definitely add the zip crack of incoming rounds.

Thanks will do

This is literally how New years eve sounded in Mexico a few decades ago. New laws have been passed regarding gunshots and fireworks. Its now toned down.

[@michaelfultz3982]

If the krouts can shoot down into the trench you better find some dam cover and be able to return fire.

[@sound_illusion]

😅

[@Isaac-muntz]

The whistle of an artillery shell being lobbed at you and bullets wheezing by ain't ambient at all 😂

[@stevenlowe3245]

Strange ambiance choice. I remember vets describing those trenches when I was a kid. They were usually a foot deep in muddy water causing trenchfoot and pneumonia, and bloated decomposing corpses, guts, shit and body parts. Not my idea of a great place to relax and sleep.

[@sound_illusion]

Definitely not a great place to relax or be in that’s for sure . Thanks for the comment 😀

It's either a well positioned machine gun or a stormtrooper with an MP-18.

Thanks for the comment

[@yeraroo]

I have a question, how do u produce the sound and video ?
Its so beautiful ! I love ur works

[@sound_illusion]

Thanks a lot I appreciate the comment. Well it depends but I usually start designing the art work, and this is often a collaboration with Artstation artists who start with the initial art concept and I add video animation and elements. Once visuals are done I spend the majority of my time designing the sound which is my area of expertise and what this channel is all about. I make all the sounds from scratch bullets, gunshots weapons bombs etc. have a listen to my ambiences through headphones and you will see the quality compared to other war ambiences on UA-cam / without naming any channels , theyr just throwing sounds together and uploading low quality work.

[@sound_illusion]

I also mix and master my sound using professional music software and plugins , to create depth and a professional mix . Hope that answers your question

[@yeraroo]

@@sound_illusion its a really good respond, i hope u will have a lot more views in the future u deserve it !
I will follow u for a long time i think 😄
