Most stock nausea SFX sound like someone gargling water into a microphone — they undersell the body's actual revolt. These 69 recordings work the full physiological arc instead: the quiet involuntary gag at the back of the throat, the breathless stomach-turning churn before anything happens, dry retching with the diaphragm catching audibly, and the heavier vomiting take that scenes earn rather than open with. Each was captured close-mic with the breathing detail intact, because the inhale between heaves is where the audience flinches.
Horror films use the early-stage gag and stomach-turning material under poisoning and possession beats — restraint reads as worse than the obvious payoff. Comedy skits and animation lean on the bigger retch takes for slapstick where exaggeration is the point. Medical drama and forensic procedural work pulls the dry breathless versions because they place the symptom without crossing into spectacle. Pull whatever the scene calls for — the full set is free to download with no licence chase.
