Sound Effects Bible is a sound effects library and educational brand created by Ric Viers, an American sound recordist and designer based near Detroit. The name originates from Viers' book The Sound Effects Bible: How to Create and Record Hollywood Style Sound Effects, published by Michael Wiese Productions, which serves as a guide to field recording, Foley, microphone technique, and digital audio workstation fundamentals.

Beyond the book, Sound Effects Bible operates as a sample-library label offering collections recorded by Viers and his team at the Detroit Chop Shop. Releases include the Sound Effects Bible Hard Drive — a multi-thousand-sound omnibus collection — along with smaller themed libraries covering Foley, ambiences, vehicles, and cinematic effects, distributed through retailers such as Loopmasters. Most material is captured at 24-bit/96kHz.

Viers is widely credited as one of the most prolific independent sound effects providers, with hundreds of libraries to his name across the Sound Effects Bible imprint and his sister label Blastwave FX. The brand's YouTube and Facebook channels publish tutorials, gear walk-throughs, and field-recording demonstrations aimed at film, game, and post-production sound designers.

Sound Effects Bible has 26 products cataloged on Equipboard, including FX and Label Samplers.
