Outshone some of the acting in my opinion... Drone sounds were so powerful, functional, also had such an air of menace... Brilliant work.

Anywhere I can read about this?

Kind of reminds me of the siren call from War of the Worlds, but with huge balls.

  • The drone sounds were the best designed sound effects I can remember. As you say, definitely added 'an air of menace'. They slightly reminded me of some of the sound design from Robocop, albeit much better. – UpTheCreek Oct 09 '13 at 07:39
  • Check out Kyma (by Symbolic Sound). – SQRCAT Oct 10 '13 at 21:34
  • Anyone found it? It was awesome. –  Apr 18 '13 at 16:11
  • I agree. Been trying to find a download so I can use as a notification tone, but no luck as yet. :-( –  Apr 18 '13 at 14:00
  • I totally agree with your comment mate, how can we get the drone sounds into text tones that would be great!!! @Tom –  Apr 14 '13 at 07:58
  • absolutely agree! awesome tunes and sounds –  Apr 15 '13 at 11:12
  • I have been loocking for the Drone sound effects from the beginning of the day when Oblivion movie has been shot out first time. Im planning to use them as Windows start up sounds :/ Still cant find any.. –  May 08 '13 at 21:26
  • Can someone please post the same video link up here? I need to see it one more time. I was looking for the drone sound..don't see it –  Apr 25 '13 at 23:59
  • Looking for the Drone Locator beacon sound for text notifications. Anyone? –  Jul 27 '13 at 07:41
  • Would totally love some Drone sound alerts on my phone. Anyone found anything? –  May 10 '13 at 16:23
  • To be honest, the drone sound was probably one of the very few cool things about that movie – Giacomo Frega May 11 '13 at 09:32
  • Some of the Drone sounds remind me of POCSAG (an asynchronous protocol used to transmit data to pagers). Here's a sample of what POCSAG sounds like when picked up via radio transmission: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/POCSAGAudioExample.mp3?_=1 – gatzkerob Apr 02 '20 at 20:06

I absolutely agree with you guys. The sound design was awesome. And yeah, really reminded me on the "sirens-call" sounds from "war of the worlds". sounds pretty like granular synthesis and resonance-gain. I experimented with an EQ and created a resonance, which I have automated. Thats comes pretty close to some of the Drone Sounds. Hope they are releasing a sound design making of soon..

I am pretty sure sound works collection will release a video about Oblivion real soon. I haven't seen the film as yet, but I heard a lot of great reviews about its sound design.

Didn't see the movie yet, but the trailer looks spectacular. Hopefully it's not the same as with Prometheus which dissapointed as actual film, whilst the trailer was great. Here's a link to the soundtrack by M83 (french musician/composer). http://3voor12.vpro.nl/luisterpaal/albums/M83.html Maybe he also worked on the drones your talking about?

Pretty Good quality 55 second splice of various drone sounds, search the 'ol 'Tube for:

Oblivion Drone Sounds HIGH QUALITY.

Never been here before but I'm guessing you guys know how to capture & cut/splice/loop whatever you want from it. I prefer sound forge for that sort of stuff.

REALLY hoping for a legit, clean share of the various drone audios from the developer, instead of having to rely on what others have pulled from the film. Have looked exhaustively. Maybe some hope when the film actually releases to disc? Maybe someone has the ability to contact the right person?

Keep looking guys. Are we such a marginal group to want access to this stuff?
