About

Secret Frequency has been authoring sound design and original music for leading advertising agencies and major networks since its founding in 1994.  We specialize in the integration of sound design and original music—sound • music • design—and our canvas has expanded from creative stereo to creative 5.1 surround sound.  We also provide complete audio post-production services:  ISDN remote recording, voice-over recording and editing, stereo and 5.1 surround final mixing.

Secret Frequency’s unique blend of custom sound effects design, rhythm and melody can be heard in a broad range of television and radio commercials, and we have worked for a diverse range of advertisers and networks: Infiniti, Gatorade, Sprite, McDonald's, Cricket Wireless, Coors Light, ESPN, Wrigley, Toyota, Kleenex, and Kraft, to name just a few. For many years, our clients have taken advantage of our experience in the creation of original music, foley sound effects recording, editing for picture, and final mixing. Secret Frequency has managed all the aspects of sound production for entire multi-spot national advertising campaigns, and is committed to providing the highest quality creative sound authoring services available anywhere.

Jeffrey Van Steen--a highly esteemed sound designer and composer, whose career has spanned over twenty-five years, founded Secret Frequency. Jeff's creative partner of over fifteen years is composer and drummer, Harry Burgan.
