Sound archive is being created after extensive research conducted by Sound Engineering Academy. This rare collection of anthems is created for those enthusiasts who want to know more about national anthems of various countries. This sound archive fully created by the students in the live and sophisticated recording studio available in the academy campus. The academy hopes that this archive will be useful not only for those who are studying in the academy but also for the common man.

During the launch of this sound archive, Mr. A.R Vishnu, CEO Sound Engineering Academy Trivadnrum has stated that "The collection of national anthems of various countries is not a big task and it contributes only 50% of the whole process. The important thing is how the national songs of these 194 countries are normalized and converted to standard quality audio / output which can cater to all types of media and upload it on the website of Sound Enginering Academy. The whole process of creating this sound archive is happening in the academy studio and fully created by the students who are currently studying in the academy"
As a future venture in the creation of sound archives, Sound Engineering Academy has started the process of collecting voice of 500 eminent malayalee personalities of the century. According the Mr. A.R Vishnu the work with regard to this has already initiated and will be live in the near future.
A national anthem is a patriotic musical composition that evokes and eulogizes the history, traditions and struggles of its people and showcases the country's culture including its diversity. A national anthem is usually recognized by a nation's government as the official national song and archive created by Sound Engineering Academy will be a precious one for students as well as music enthusiasts.
